Angelo State seniors Aisha Adams and Andria Nussey were recognized Thursday as the Lone Star Conference announced its Women's Track & Field Athletes of the Week. Adams earned Field Athlete of the Week honors while Nussey garnered recognition as the Track Athlete of the Week.

A native of Covington, Tenn., Adams set the NCAA Division II record in the heptathlon this past weekend as she placed second with 5,795 points in the event at the Texas Relays. Adams eclipsed the previous D-II record of 5,780 points set by Nebraska-Omaha's Anastassia Kyvelidou in 2005. She broke both the ASU and LSC record in the event (5,670), set by former Rambelle Amber Miller in 2003. In the process of her record-setting performance that automatically qualifies her to defend her national title in the heptathlon at next month's NCAA D-II National Championships, Adams posted the top marks this season in both the high jump and the long jump. She recorded automatic-qualifying performances in both events, with a high jump of 5-9.75 and a personal-best long jump of 20-5.25. Her long jump is the fifth-best in ASU history. She also added an automatic mark in the 100-meter hurdles (13.80) and a provisional mark in the 200-meter dash (24.48) during the heptathlon.

Nussey, a native of San Angelo, set the ASU record and automatically qualified for the NCAA Division II National Championships in the 800-meter run as she won the event at the Texas Relays over the weekend. Nussey's time of 2:09.51 smashed ASU's old mark in the 800, is the top time in the event this season in NCAA D- II and was the second-best time ever at the Texas Relays. The previous ASU record in the 800 was 2:12.52, set by Thelma McDow in 1996. Nussey also ran the anchor leg for the Rambelles' 4x400-meter relay squad that also set a school record, placing eighth at the Texas Relays with an automatic-qualifying time of 3:40.29.

The Rams and Rambelles return to action this weekend as they host the 38th Annual ASU/David Noble Relays at the LeGrand Sports Complex. The multi-events started Thursday and continue Friday with the open meet set for Saturday.
