Mikaela Smith (53)
Virgin Islands Track and Field and Cross Country Team member Mikaela Smith, competing for Austin Peay State University, ran in the ASUN Conference Championship in Huntsville, AL on October 29, 2022. Smith ran a personal record of 18:32 in the 5K Conference race and was the first Austin Peay runner to cross the finish line.
Austin Peay’s Head Coach Valerie Brown commented “The highlight of this season has to be the leadership and the fearless competitive spirit of Mikaela. There’s no better way to end your last season than the way she has done. When you can get over half of your team to have personal bests at the championship meet, that stamps for a good day.”
The Conference race concludes Smith’s successful cross country season where she ran 3 consecutive personal records in the last 3 races.
