LOGAN, Utah – Utah women’s distance runner LeAnn Larkin-Hatch has been named USU Student of the Week for America First Credit Union for the period ending Sunday, May 9th. A nationwide media committee will vote on the award.

In sponsoring Student-Athlete of the Week, America First Credit Union will donate funds directly to support Student-Athlete Scholarships.

Larkin-Hatch was one of nine different aggies to take home an event title at the Weber State-hosted Twilight Meet in Ogden last week. Shelley, Idaho, who was born in Shelley, led a 1-2-3-4-5 finish for the state of Utah in the 1,500 meters when she finished first with a time of 4: 35.85.

The Aggies are back in action this week at the Mountain West Outdoor Athletics Championships, held Thursday through Saturday, May 13-15, at the Veterans Memorial Stadium in Clovis, California.
