For the third time this season, Sa'Nijah Houston of the Lindenwood track and field team has been named OVC track athlete of the week as announced by the conference today.

At the Music City Outdoor Challenge last week, Houston broke her own 400 meter school record with a time of 53.71, beating her previous record of 53.79. As a result, she finished second among 33 competitors in the event. That mark is nearly a second faster than the next closest competitor among OVC schools.

Houston, along with Kristen Hendricks, Jyrah Powell, and Chanel Honeywell teamed up to PR in the 4x100 with a time of 46.41 to finish fourth. That time was also good enough to earn the foursome in the events top 10 list at Lindenwood.

The freshman also finished fifth in the 200 meter with a time of 23.99.

Houston and the rest of the Lions will be back in action at the OVC Championships which are set to begin on Thursday, May 15 in Cape Girardeau, Mo.
