Women’s Cross Country Lauren McNeil takes home Athlete of the Week honours powered by Meal Prep for You, for the week ending on November 10th

McNeil took the lead on the second lap of the two-kilometre course at the U SPORTS Championship and never looked back. She would post a time of 26 minutes and 31 seconds, shattering the course record of 28:12 to take home the first U SPORTS individual gold medal in Heat history. The victory also earned McNeil the title of U SPORTS Outstanding Athlete of the Year, an accolade which has never been achieved by another Heat athlete in school history, as well as the honour of being named a U SPORTS First Team All-Canadian.

This is the second time this season and in her career that McNeil has been named Athlete of the Week.
