UNIVERSITY CENTER, Mich. – Saginaw Valley State University senior Cheyenne Williamson was named the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) field athlete of the week by the league office on Monday afternoon.

Williamson won the pentathlon at the USA Track & Field Indoor Combined Events Championships held in Indianapolis on Sunday afternoon. She finished with 4,475 points, 57 ahead of the second-place finisher, after her five events to set a new NCAA Division II record with her final tally. Her day was highlighted in the high jump where she cleared the bar for a new school record height of 1.83m, breaking her school record with the first-place height. Her next-best finish was a third-place time of 2:17.41 in the 800m (the final event of the pentathlon). She rounded out her final score with two fourth-place results (60m hurdles & shot put). She ran the 60 hurdles in 8.43 seconds and threw the shot 13.05m for her final marks. A leap of 5.96m in the long jump placed her fifth, making her the only athlete to achieve a top-five finish in all events.

The SVSU women's track and field team competes at home this Saturday for the annual W-C-W Tri-Meet. The first event is scheduled to begin at noon, EST.
