Women's indoor track senior Kate Lilley has been named the American University Student-Athlete of the Week presented by GEICO, Department of Athletics and Recreation officials announced Monday. Lilley posted AU's lone victory at Saturday's GMU Patriot Games.

Lilley won the mile run in a time of 5:08.71, besting her competition by a full nine seconds. Lilley's time was the fastest posted by a Patriot League miler this season and is the fifth-fastest time ever run by an AU harrier. The AU women's team finished Saturday's competition in 11th place while the men's team finished in seventh.

Lilley's honor is the first this season for the indoor track team.
