CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Hannah Moran has been named Track Athlete of the Week by the Big South Conference following her record-breaking performance at the Raleigh Relays.

At the meet, Moran broke not only the school record but the Big South Conference record over 10,000 meters with a time of 33:39.16. With this performance, Moran became the first Big South woman ever to run under 34 minutes in the event en route to breaking the record which had stood since 2010. The run also took over two-and-a-half minutes off of the Radford school record in the event.

Moran finished ninth in the event against a tremendous field thanks to a negative split in the second half of the race. In the two halves of the race she covered 5,000m in roughly 17:02 and 16:37. Both times would rank in the top 10 in school history over 5,000m while her second-half split was faster than the current school record by about 18 seconds. 

This is the first time Moran has earned Athlete of the Week honors on the track. She was named Runner of the Week twice before being named Runner of the Year for the 2021 cross country season.
