MacDonald named CW Athlete of the Week

CALGARY – For the second time this season, Sienna MacDonald of the Calgary Dinos has been named the Canada West BioSteel Women's Track & Field Athlete of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday.

It was another remarkable showing by MacDonald this past weekend, bringing home two more U SPORTS gold medals in record-breaking fashion.

One year after winning national championships in the pentathlon, long jump and 60m hurdles, MacDonald did not enter in this year's pentathlon despite being the top ranked U SPORTS athlete in the event to focus on her upcoming trip to Nanjing, China for the World Athletics Indoor Championships.

The move paid off in spades. MacDonald stole the show on the second day of competition in Windsor. She started the day by breaking the U SPORTS record in the 60m hurdle prelims with a time of 8.09 seconds before lowering that further with an incredible winning time of 7.99 in finals. Just minutes later, MacDonald wrapped up her long jump competition with another gold medal and another U SPORTS record, clearing 6.25m on her final attempt to run away with the title.

The Airdrie, Alta. native also added more points for the Dinos in the 60m, finishing sixth overall.

After repeating as national champion in both events, MacDonald was once again named the U SPORTS Women's Athlete of the Meet at this year's championships.

MacDonald is now off to Nanjing for this year's Indoor Worlds, which are set to run March 21-23.
