Cloud County Community College sophomore sprinter Maimuna Jallow has been named the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association's (USTFCCCA) National Female Athlete of the Week, as announced by the organization on Monday, January 19.

Jallow, a native of Sare-Futa, Gambia, receives the honor after recording two first-place finishes and establishing two new meet records at the 2026 Washburn University Rust Buster in Topeka, Kansas on Friday, January 16.

In her first competition of 2026, Jallow set a facility record and a new meet record time of 7.30 in the 60-meter Dash, before later turning in another meet record time of 23.82 in the 200-meter Dash.

Jallow leads all of the NJCAA in the 60-meters and the 200-meters and has qualified for the NJCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships in both events. Jallow is also the NJCAA indoor record holder in the 60-meters (7.19) and the 200-meters (22.86). She ended her freshman indoor season with three of the top-six marks in NJCAA history in the 60-meters and two of the top-three in the 200-meters on her way to two national championships and recognition as the NJCAA Women's Indoor Track & Field National Track Athlete of the Year.

This is the eighth time that a female athlete from Cloud County has been named M-F Athletic National Athlete of the Week during the indoor season. Jallow joins N Vanee Anchike (2024), Miracle Thompson (twice in 2023), Mercy Ntia-Obong (twice in 2021), Gabbreil Harris (2018) and Nayoka Clunis (2017) in that regard
