Women's Indoor Track | 2/9/2026 4:18:00 PM
The United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) has named Cloud County sophomore sprinter
Maimuna Jallow as the NJCAA Women's National Athlete of the Week. Jallow has received the honor for the second time this season, after previously receiving the award on January 19, 2026.
The national recognition comes after Jallow was named the Most Valuable Female Performer at the University of Nebraska's Frank Sevigne Husker Invitational.
On Friday, February 6, Jallow won the 60M Dash in a national qualifying time of 7.29, lowering her seasonal best with the No. 7 all-time performance in NJCAA.
The following day, Jallow claimed another win, taking the 200M Dash in a national qualifying time of 23.29 – again rating as the No. 7 NJCAA performance all-time.
Less than three hours later, Jallow joined sophomore
Tahlia Lienert and freshmen
Makaiah Hitchman and
Alexis Smith on the 4x400M Relay team that finished second overall in a time of 3:52.80. Jallow ran a 54.91-second split on the second leg of the relay, which was her first 400M of any kind this year. Last year Jallow had a 54.54 lead-off leg to kick-start Cloud County to an NJCAA Indoor title in the 4x400.
Jallow joins former T-Birds Miracle Thompson (2023) and Mercy Ntia-Obong (2021) as the only three Cloud County women's track and field athletes to have been named National Athlete of the Week twice during the same indoor season.
Jallow and the Cloud County track and field team will continue its indoor season at the Washburn University Ichabod Invitational on Friday, February 13 and Saturday, February 14.
