MORAGA, Calif. — Redshirt junior Abby Bolt has been named the Muscle Milk Student Athlete of the Week on Monday. After posting a number of impressive races so far this season and helping the Gaels women's cross country team to their best finish since 2001 at the West Coast Conference Championships, Bolt was awarded the honor for her first time.
In Provo last weekend at the WCC Championships, Bolt found herself atop of the standings for the women's team, placing 16th with a time of 21:47:30. The strong race time from Bolt propelled the Gaels to a fifth-place finish among ten teams in the WCC, which is their best finish in the last 17 seasons.
