Congrats to Aidan Heard for securing the Shreveport Times Athlete of the Week!
Here is what Cross Country Coach Marcos Villalba said:
“Aidan Heard is our No. 1 runner and has led the team at every race from the start. Aidan has already set two new course records for Loyola at the Benton and Byrd meets and has gone from running in 23:40 minutes to 21:40 minutes and finished in the top 10 twice already this season. When Aidan sets a goal before a race, she runs for it. Her first goal was to run in 22 minutes and she ran 22 minutes flat. Her second goal was to finish in the top 10 and she did it twice. And at the Byrd meet, she set a goal to set a new course record with a time of 21:40 and that is exactly what she ran.”
