COMMERCE – Texas A&M University-Commerce women's track and field student-athlete Minna Svaerd has been awarded the Under Armour Student-Athlete of the Week honor following a historic weekend at the Lone Star Conference Indoor Track and Field Indoor Championships. 
 
Svaerd (Karlstad, Sweden) competed in three events at the LSC Championships, setting all-time conference records and winning the gold medal in all three. She cleared 13-3.5 (4.05m) in the pole vault, which puts her in 10^th place in the country this season.
 
Her gold medal time of 54.30 seconds in the 400 meter dash is first in the country this season, and she closed out the meet by anchoring the 4x400 meter relay, which clocked a time of 3:42.89, the second-best in the country.
 
Svaerd and the rest of the Lions await the NCAA National Championships field announcement on Tuesday evening.
 
The Under Armour Student-Athlete of the Week will be awarded by Lion Athletics each week through the remainder of the academic year.
