Gasparini, Christie-Galloway sweep Athlete of the Week awards
The Grand Canyon track and field team took two of the first Western Athletic Conference athlete of the week honors for the outdoor season.
Marten Gasparini was voted the Men's Field Athlete of the Week, while Keira Christie-Galloway won the Women's Track Athlete of the Week.

Christie-Galloway won the women's 100 meter hurdles with a school record time of 13.34 seconds.
Not only did the Canada native add her name to the outdoor school record books but she broke a record that existed for over ten years.
Christie-Galloway's time was first in the conference, second in the west region, and fourth best in the in the NCAA.
The Lopes will be back in action Friday and Saturday at the Willie Williams Classic at Arizona.
