Women’s Track Athlete of the Week: Elizabeth Khatevi, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi – Distance - So. – Kenya
Khatevi competed in the 1500m last weekend, doing so at both the Texas Relays in Austin and the Bobcat Invitational in San Marcos. At the former on Thursday, she took home the individual championship in the A-section of the meet, crossing the line with a time of 4:24.82. Just one day later at the Bobcat Inviational, she then improved greatly on this mark, shaving off more than seven seconds with a time of 4:17.03 that earned her another first place finish. This broke her own school record of 4:21.47 set at last year's Bryan Clay Invitational as well as both the Bobcat Invitational meet record and the Texas State Track & Field Complex facility record, all in one race.
