BOILING SPRINGS, N.C.—After a strong first weekend of indoor season, senior Alena Ivanov and sophomore Nathan Cremin from the Gardner-Webb University track and field team have taken home GWU Athlete of The Week

In the women’s 600 meters, Ivanov managed a personal best and the second-best time in school history. The London, Ontario native sprinted to a time of 1:41.06 at the JDL Fast Track Early Bird Invitational, placing fourth place in the event and landing in the GWU record books.

In the men’s 600 meters, Cremin not only posted the top time in Gardner-Webb history but placed in the top five among Irish collegiate runners. The Limerick, Ireland native crossed the stripe in 1:20.35 for a win in his event.
