"NCAA DIVISION I WOMEN – Grace Forbes, Rice
Sophomore | Distance
Wallingford, Pennsylvania

Grace Forbes wouldn’t be denied at the Conference USA Indoor Track & Field Championships this past weekend in Birmingham, Alabama.

Forbes had her hand in three victories, anchoring the winning DMR on Saturday and then doubling back to capture both the mile and 3000 on Sunday.

Her times were equally as impressive toting the baton last for the DMR and in the open mile – 4:37 in the former, 4:37.53 MR in the latter to put herself in prime qualifying position for the NCAA Indoor Championships (Forbes currently sits 12th on the Descending Order List). Then Forbes won the 3000 by more than 20 seconds in 9:18.76 to complete her amazing weekend.

This marks the first time in program history that an athlete from Rice has been named National Athlete of the Week during the indoor season."
