This week’s “Athlete of the Week” features senior cross-country runner Arika Hofmann, native of Monmouth, Illinois. Hofmann has recently earned the title of Midwest Conference Performer of the week as well. Most recently, she led the team at the Bradley Intercollegiate Meet in which she finished 18th in the 5K with a time of 18:42.4, contributing to a team place of 5th, the highest place for a Division III school. “She always sets the precedent for how things need to be done,” says Head Coach John Welty. “She is a true example to everyone on our team, and I know that she will always put in her best effort.”
