Gordon Named Female Track Athlete of the Week

DETROIT -- Wayne State University women's track & field student-athlete Emily Gordon (Northville, Mich.) was named Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Female Track Athlete of the Week, as announced by the league office.  This is the second time in her Warrior career Gordon has been honored after earning the same recognition on Feb. 17, 2025.

The mid-distance runner garners the honor after eclipsing her own school record by over two seconds in the mile.

The graduate student took first place in the event at the annual W-C-W (Warriors-Cardinals-Wildcats) meet hosted this year by SVSU.  Her first-place finish helped WSU earn the team title.  It was Gordon's first time running the mile race in more than a year.

UP NEXT
The track & field squad will return to action this weekend (Feb. 13-14) at the GVSU Big Meet in Allendale, Mich., at the Kelly Family Sports Center.
