TCU freshman sprinter Donita Harmon has been selected as the Conference USA Female Track & Field Athletes of the Week for the week of February 8, the conference office announced today.

The Albuquerque, New Mexico product posted an NCAA provisional time of 23.57 seconds in winning the 200 meter dash at the Air Force Classic last Saturday. That time matches Giesla Jackson's school record, set on the same track on February 28, 1998. Harmon posted the third fastest 200-meters among all Division I sprinters this season behind only LSU junior Muna Lee (23.45) and South Carolina senior Aleen Bailey (23.49).

Harmon also finished second in the 60-meter dash with a time of 7.49 seconds and ran the anchor leg on TCU's winning mile relay team (3:53.64) at the Air Force Classic. Harmon was honored as the Conference USA Female Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Week for the second time this season, previously winning the award for the weekend of January 25.
