BOWLING GREEN, KY – Lillian Guzman has been named the MSC Women's Track Athlete of the Week, conference officials announced Monday afternoon. The junior sprinter earned the honor after a record-breaking weekend at the Asheville Bulldog Invitational.
 
Guzman played a key role in the 4x100-meter relay, helping the Patriots claim the event title with a time of 45.91. Abia Kante, MaQuoia Raglin, and Ritorion Vigne and Guzman's performance not only secured the NAIA A standard, but also broke the program record and ranks as the third-fastest time in the NAIA this season.
 
She followed that performance with another strong showing in the 400-meter dash, placing third overall with a time of 56.03. The mark hit the NAIA B standard and also set a new school record, capping off an impressive weekend on the track.
 
This marks Guzman's first MSC weekly honor of the season and highlights her impact across multiple sprint events for the Patriots.
 
The Pats will now look ahead to Wake Forrest and Georgia Tech next weekend where they will continue to build off this momentum.
