LOGAN, Utah – Utah State track and field's women's 4x400-meter relay team, comprised of freshman Mashaylee Jones, senior Emma Reeves, senior Adi Nielson and junior Alison Richter, has been named the America First Credit Union USU Student-Athlete of the Week for the period ending on Sunday, May 11. The award is voted on by a state-wide media panel.
 
With their sponsorship of the student-athlete of the week, America First Credit Union donates funds directly to support student-athlete scholarships.
 
The team broke the Utah State record in the women's 4x400-meter relay with a time of 3:38.66 at the Franson Last Chance Meet in Azusa, California, this past weekend. They topped the previous record of 3:38.93, which was set in 1996 by Becky Sorenson, Jane Marshall, Shelley Grupe and LaDonna Antoine-Watkins. With this performance, the quartet became the first to break any of the seven school records set by Utah State Hall of Famer Antoine-Watkins, a two-time Olympian representing Canada, during her career from 1994-97.
