NAPERVILLE, Ill. – After turning in dominating performances at the Keck DIII Select meet over the weekend, sophomore Adriana Crabtree (Normal, Ill.-University High) and freshman Imani Ogunribido (Hanover Park, Ill.-Lake Park) swept the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin weekly awards as Crabtree was named the Track recipient and Ogunribido claimed the Field award. The conference released its selections Wednesday, Feb. 7.

In her first mile of the indoor season, Crabtree shaved 15 seconds off her career-best time, clocking in at five minutes and 1.35 seconds, good for third in IWU laurels. She now holds the conference-leading time in the event and is nearly eight seconds faster than the next closest competitor in the CCIW. Crabtree's effort ranks 15th in Division III. The sophomore also turned in a top-10 performance in the 800-meter run, finishing seventh (2:26.12) in the 45-person field.

Ogunribido continues to impress in her first collegiate season, earning her first CCIW weekly award leaping to a second-place finish at the Keck Select on Saturday. The freshman's mark of 11.70m (38'4.75") is good for third in IWU's all-time jumps and ranks 12th nationally. Ogunribido leads the conference by over a foot and also since fourth in the conference in the 60m dash (7.84).

This week's sweep of honors is the first conference weekly awards of the season for the Titans. IWU hosts the Titan Open Saturday, Feb. 10 with opening events slated for an 11:30 a.m. start.
