CHICAGO --- A pair of record-setting efforts from Viterbo University's Olivia Wingo (Woodruff, Wis.) and a first-place finish by Olivet Nazarene University's Carsyn Burdine (Indianapolis, Ind.) have resulted in Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference women's outdoor track & field weekly honors for the pair of competitors.  The league office announced the award winners on Wednesday afternoon.

Wingo collected her third straight CCAC Field Athlete of the Week recognition after setting new school records in both the pole vault and high jump events at the University of Wisconsin-Oshkosh Titan Invite on Saturday.  She also claimed the top marks in both meets.

The junior also captured runner-up accord as part of Olivet's 4x100-meter relay team, which registered a time of 47.59 seconds.
