TCU sprinter Monica Twum has been selected as the Conference USA women's outdoor track & field Athlete of the Week for the weekend of April 19, the conference office announced today.
Twum, a senior from Tema, Ghana, finished first in 100 meter dash (11.29) and second in the 200 meter dash (23.12), notching career-best times in both events at the TCU Invitational on Saturday. She also ran the anchor leg on TCU's winning 4x100-meter relay unit. All three marks were better than the NCAA Regional qualifying standards.
Twum, a three-time all-American, shared the award a week ago with East Carolina's Terri Davenport.
Twum will be competing in three events this weekend as the Frogs take part in the 109th running of the Penn Relays in Philadephia. Twum is slated to run in the open 100 meter dash, and will anchor TCU's 4x100 and 4x200 meter relay foursomes.
