Track Athlete of the Week
David Helms / JR / Lancaster Bible College / Lancaster, Pa. / Lampeter-Strasburg

Helms continued his dominance in the distance events, competing in both the 3K and the 5K at the Alvernia Winter Invite on Saturday. The junior took 3rd and clocked a 8:54.39 in the 3,000m which not only set this year's standard in the conference but also became the record at Lancaster Bible. He then placed 2nd (first among collegiate runners) in the 5000m as he posted a time of 15:14.96. Helms currently holds the conference's top times in both of those events as well as the mile.

This is Helms' third weekly accolade of the year and his fifth of his career (1/13/26, 12/09/25, 02/11/25, 01/28/25).
