Women's Track Athlete of the Week: Uekyvia Beckwith, Embry-Riddle

Beckwith ran back-to-back personal bests in the 800 in her two meets following the PBC Championships. The graduate student from Orlando, Fla., ran a 2:04.84 in the UNF East Coast Relays, finishing fourth of 71 competitors, most of which were Division I runners. She then won the 800 at the Lee Last Chance with a time of 2:04.59. That is a new Peach Belt Conference record and the fastest 800 run in NCAA Division II this season. She also anchored the 4x400 relay team which won at the Lee Last Chance in a school-record time of 3:44.77 which is also an NCAA Provisional Qualifying time.
