MONTGOMERY– For the first time this season, Alabama State University’s Tatiana Etienne has been named the Southwestern Athletic Conference Track & Field Athlete of the Week.
The freshman from West Palm Beach, Fla. led the Hornets with a first place finish in the 800m last weekend at the War Eagle Invitational hosted by Auburn University.
Etienne crossed the line in 2:11.78, which gave her an overall first place finish. She has been among the top 800m in the conference for the entire season and has been a key component of both the Lady Hornets nationally ranked 4x800m and 4x400m relays.
The Hornets are preparing this week to compete in the 2014 Southwestern Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships on April 25th-27th in New Orleans, La.
