McIntyre was also named the USTFCCCA National Athlete of the Week for Division II after she starred in the 5K this weekend at the Grand Valley State-hosted Mike Lints Alumni Open.
She recorded the nation’s fastest time with a new conference record 16:23.65 and auto qualified for nationals, just one of two to do so this year.
McIntyre has almost 10 seconds of time between NCAA DII’s second-best time from Mount Olive’s Leah Hanle and she blew the door off the previous Great Midwest record by about 30 seconds total.
McIntyre has also provisionally qualified for nationals in the 3K, currently sporting NCAA DII’s fifth-best time of the year.
She is now a three-time Great Midwest Athlete of the Week this year, including twice in indoor track and field and once during the cross country season.
