NEW ORLEANS — After winning the 2021 Pac-12 Conference women's individual title on October 29, University of Colorado runner Abby Nichols has been named the USTFCCCA Co-Women's National Athlete of the Week.
Nichols ran a very smart, patient race at the Regional Athletic Complex in Salt Lake City, Utah, which was an extremely flat 6-kilometer course set up on seven soccer fields. Along with her teammate, Emily Covert, Nichols and Utah's Emily Venters pulled away from the rest of the field with about 1500-meters left to race.
