BRENTWOOD, Tenn. – Micayla Rennick has been named the adidas® OVC Female Track Athlete of the Week, as announced by the Ohio Valley Conference on Wednesday in its latest weekly report of the 2017-18 indoor season.

Both times rank first in the conference, and Tech's distance medley relay time ranks 29th nationally (Tech's relay squad consisted of Purity Sanga, Na'Asha Robinson, D'Airrien Jackson and Rennick).
