SEATTLE (Apr. 19) -- Kenyatta Leonhardt, who sparked Seattle Pacific University’s fifth straight scored meet victory by winning two open events at the Spike Arlt Invitational in Ellensburg, was selected as the Great Northwest Athletic Conference female co-athlete of the week in track and field.

Leonhardt (Fr., Petaluma, Ca./St. Vincent) clocked an NCAA provisional qualifying time and meet record of 56.22 seconds in the 400-meter dash and also anchored the 400 relay, which ran a season-best time of 48.2, and was on the 1600 relay which was second (3:54.93) to Central Washington. She also won her first collegiate long jump at 16 feet, 5 inches.

SPU will send 11 athletes, including Leonhardt, to the Oregon Invitational Saturday in Eugene.
