\nUSTFCCCA NATIONAL ATHLETE OF THE WEEK
\nThere’s great performances, and then there’s what Abigail Abugire<\/a> did this past weekend at Bryan Clay Invitational.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nThe sophomore out of West Texas A&M kicked things off with her bread-and-butter event, the 800 meters. Taking a full second off of her personal best, Abugire climbed to No. 3 on the NCAA DII all-time list, running 2:01.79. The 2025 outdoor national champion should be in title contention once again come May.\u00a0
\n\u00a0
\nHer busy schedule continued with a go at the 1500 meters. And boy did it pay off. Abugire stopped the clock at 4:13.03, shaving seven seconds off her previous best, and moving her up to No. 7 in the NCAA DII record books. The exclamation point was beating NCAA DII mile record holder Helen Braybrook of CSU-Pueblo head-to-head by nearly four seconds.\u00a0\u00a0
