LOGAN, Utah — Utah State track & field sophomore Krysthina Vlahovic has been named the America First Credit Union USU Student-Athlete of the Week for the period ending on Sunday, May 5. The award is voted on by a state-wide media panel.
 
With its sponsorship of the Student-Athlete of the Week, America First Credit Union donates funds directly to support student-athlete scholarships.
 
Vlahovic, a native of Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, won the women's 100-meter hurdles with a personal record time of 13.78 at the Oregon Twilight meet this past weekend. Vlahovic improved her mark to the 10th-best time in USU history. That time ranks seventh in the Mountain West this season.
 
Utah State returns to action on Thursday through Saturday, May 9-11 in the Mountain West Outdoor Championships in Clovis, California. Fresno State is serving as the host institution.
