MIDDLETOWN, Ohio – Indiana University East freshman India Benton ran a top-ranked time in the RSC to claim the first River States Conference Women’s Indoor Track Athlete of the Week award of the year. The recognition is for all events so far this year and was named Jan. 17.
Benton, from Lima, Ohio, ran the 400-meter dash in 1:02.23 to win the event at the Wabash Invitational this past weekend Jan. 14. That puts her at the No. 1 ranking in the RSC performance list. She powered the Red Wolves to first place in the team standings, and she has run the eighth- and ninth-fastest 400 times in school history so far this year.
IU East will compete at the Indiana Wesleyan Invitational on Jan. 22.
