It is the fifth time in her career that Spencer has received USU student-athlete of the week honors.
Spencer, a senior from Ogden, Utah (Fremont HS/Weber State) ended her historic Utah State career after competing in two events at the first round of the 2012 NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Mike A.
