For the first time in her collegiate career, Calvin College junior Katie Diekema has been named the MIAA Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week.
A native of Kenmore, Washington, Diekema captured the Knight Invite individual title this past Saturday with a 5K race time of 17:46.
A graduate of Ingelmoor High School, Diekema finished just under eight seconds ahead of her nearest pursuer and helped the nationally-ranked Calvin women's cross country team finish fourth in the team standings.
The Knights return to action on September 23 when they compete at the MIAA Jamboree hosted by Hope College.
