CLEVELAND, Ohio – The North Coast Athletic Conference (NCAC) announced its Athletes of the Week for January 20, with sophomore Noa Helmbrecht earning the Women's Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Week honor following a standout performance at the Wooster Invitational.

Helmbrecht helped power the Owls to a second-place team finish by delivering one of Kenyon's top individual performances of the day. She added the team's third event victory by winning the 60-meter dash in 8.09 seconds, edging the runner-up by 0.06 seconds. The time marked the third-fastest performance of her career in the event.

The sophomore also turned in a strong showing in the 200 meters, placing third with a time of 27.44 while leading two teammates in the race.
