BRIDGEPORT, W.Va. - West Liberty's Danah Phillips has been named the Mountain East Conference Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week, announced by the conference office today.

Phillips was the first to cross the finish line in the one mile race, that featured multiple Division I opponents, at the Youngstown State Collegiate Invitational posting a school record time of 4:12.64. He broke the previous record held by teammate Michael Harriman, set last January, by over five seconds. Phillips now owns three school indoor track and field records, including the 1000m and 5000m, which he set last month at Grand Valley State.

The MEC Weekly Awards are presented by The Health Plan.

The Hilltoppers will be back in action this Friday and Saturday at Youngstown State's College Mid Major Event.
