ST. LOUIS – Illinois State sprinter Hassy Fashina-Bombata etched her name on the school record board last week, and for her efforts was named the first Missouri Valley Conference Women's Track Athlete of the Week by the league office on Wednesday.
Competing in just her second meet as a Redbird, Fashina-Bombata smashed a school record in the 60m hurdles and picked up a pair of event wins at the Blue Demon Holiday Invite last Friday night. This came after she posted a time of 7.39 in the 60m dash at the John Coughlan Invitational on Dec.
