Heather Lee Earns A-Sun Runner-of-the-Week Honors

MACON, Ga. – After setting two new school records at the Duke Invitational last weekend, Campbell University senior Heather Lee has been named this week's Atlantic Sun Female Runner-of-the-Week announced Assistant Commissioner Devlin Pierce.

This marks the third consecutive week a member of the Campbell track and field programs has been honored with the recognition.

Lee, a senior business administration major from Calgary, Canada, set a pair of Campbell records this past week at the Duke Invitational to win her first A-Sun Performer-of-the-Week honor of the season. She ran a 4:28.09 in the 1,500 meters to break the old record by .04 seconds which she set at the Duke Invitational last season.

Her fifth place finish (fourth among collegiate competitors) was also an NCAA regional qualifying time.

Lee also set a new Camel record in the 3,000 meters with a time of 9:42.42 which was almost 11 seconds faster than her previous record set back in 2001. She finished third overall in the event and was the second highest collegiate finisher.

Currently, Lee is the top-ranked 1,500-meter runner in the Atlantic Sun. Heading into last weekend, she was ranked 10th in the East Region and 28th nationally in the event.

Both men's and women's track and field teams return to competition this weekend when they head to Chapel Hill for the Carolinas Fast Times meet on April 9.
