Wilmington College’s Faith Duncan received the first Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Week honor for the 2025 Season for her individual performances on Saturday, as announced by the conference office.
 
Duncan (Lebanon HS/Lebanon, Ohio) received the nod after a performance where she won the mile by 35 seconds at 5:00.77 and the 3000 by 88 seconds at 10:04.74 during the Mount St. Joseph Lions Invitational in Cincinnati. Duncan also ran the anchor leg for the Distance Medley Relay team, which won their race by almost two minutes at 13:15.58.
 
For Duncan, this is her first-ever Athlete of the Week honor during the indoor track season and second for track after one in outdoor last season. These go along with her four honors from this fall's cross-country season.
