Mar 24, 2026 | Women's Track and Field
IRVING, Texas - Ann-Marie Braese was named the American Conference women's track athlete of the week, the conference announced on Tuesday afternoon.
The honor marks the first of Braese's career and the first for a Memphis Tiger this season. Braese is the first Tiger to earn this accolade since Martina Rodriguez Sala on March 20, 2018.
Braese, a senior distance runner, set two personal-bests at the Rhodes Invitational on March 20-21. The Arlington, Tennessee native, won the 10,000-meter run with a time of 37:30.04, a mark that currently ranks No. 1 in the American and No. 13 in the nation. Brease capped the weekend with a second-place finish in the one mile with a time of 5:08.98, the 16th-fastest time in the conference.
Memphis track and field returns to action Thursday, March 26, as the team travels to Starkville, Mississippi for the Bulldog Relays.
