UNI women’s track and field athlete and Aplington-Parkersburg alum Sophia Jungling was named the Missouri Valley Conference’s Women’s Track Athlete of the Week last week. The selection is the first weekly conference honor of her collegiate career.
The honor comes after Jungling led the UNI pack in the 800-meter with a third-place finish and a time of 2:09.0 at the Badger Challenge.
Jungling is majoring in sports business/public relations.
Jungling and the Panthers are back in action at next week’s NCAA West Preliminary Round in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
