CAPE COD, MASS - William and Mary sophomore Emily Anderson (Golf, Ill.) was named the ECAC Division I Indoor Track Athlete of the Week today after claiming two school records and an NCAA provisional-qualification last weekend at Virginia Tech.

Anderson won the mile with an NCAA-qualifying time of 4:43.33, breaking Emily Furia’s ’01 indoor record by nearly three seconds. The time also ranks second in school history, behind only Furia’s outdoor record of 4:41.06. Barely 45 minutes later, Anderson ran on the 4x400m relay that set the school indoor record and qualified for the ECAC Championships in 3:51.12.

Also an NCAA provisional-qualifier at 3,000m after running 9:27.88 earlier this month at Christopher Newport, Anderson was honored Monday as a member of the USTFCCCA All-Academic Cross Country team.
