NAPERVILLE – The College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) honored three women’s indoor track & field participants as Student-Athletes of the Week, according to a Wednesday announcement. Elmhurst’s Huda Hussaini and North Central’s Lindsey Novak are co-winners in track, while NCC’s Alex Draves won the field award for the third time this season.
 
Hussaini, a senior from Lombard, Ill., won Elmhurst’s fifth consecutive track Student-Athlete of the Week honor after placing second in the 60 meters at last weekend’s Windy City Rumble hosted by Chicago. Her finals time of 7.82 seconds marked a personal career best for the third meet in a row.
