RIVER FALLS, Wis. (uwrfsports.com) - For the second time this indoor season sprinter Lexi LeFever has been named USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week.

Lexi LeFever had a busy day at the WIAC Last Chance Meet.

As it turns out, that played into her favor as she walked away with three event titles and NCAA DIII-leading marks in the span of five hours after competing five different times.

LeFever started her day in the long jump, where she soared 5.82m (19-1¼) for a personal best and the NCAA DIII lead by more than five inches Less than four hours later, she cruised to her first victory on the track – and matched her personal best – with a 7.71 winner in the 60 (She sits No. 2 in NCAA DIII in that event). Not long after that, LeFever scorched the oval in the 200 for a time of 24.65c (25.03), which catapulted her to the top of the NCAA DIII list by 0.27 seconds.

This is the second time this season that LeFever has been named National Athlete of the Week. She previously earned the honor on February 9 following a dual meet against UW-Stout.
