SEATTLE (Apr. 30) -- Seattle Pacific University sprinter Cyrena Bell (Sr., Kent, Wa./Christian Faith) was selected as Pacific West Conference women's track and field co-athlete of the week after running the fastest 400-meter time in the conference at last week's Cougar Invitational.

Bell's fourth-place time of 56.38 seconds was a personal-best and an NCAA provisional qualifying time. She also anchored the 4 x 100 relay which ran a provisional standard of 47.92 seconds.

Bell and the Falcons will defend the women's team title at the PacWest Championships Saturday in Monmouth, Or.
