Olivia Lent earned the Women's WVIAC Track Athlete of the Year Award as announced by the league’s office.

Lent had a phenomenal 2012 campaign. The junior from Zanesville, Ohio set multiple school records on her way to an all-region bid for the 400 meter dash. She set the 400 meter standard of 55.51 at the Campbell Wright Open. Lent won four conference championships at the WVIAC meet and earned the meet’s MVP Award. She currently holds WJU records in the 200 and 400 meter dashes and is a member of the 4x100 and 4x400 meter relay teams, who established the school standard multiple times throughout the year.
 
“Olivia was on a mission this year. She dedicated herself to become faster and did everything which was required to to so,” said Moore. “She put in a lot of extra time to compete at this level with weight room and nutrition regiment.”
