The 60-meters time would give the native of Nigeria a 0.23-second victory in the 25-runner field while beating out other NJCAA and NCAA Division II athletes.&nbsp;This marks the first time that Ntia-Obong has been named USTFCCCA NJCAA Women's Athlete of the Week and the second consecutive week that a Cloud County track and field athlete has earned national honors after Courtney Lawrence was named Men's Athlete of the Week last week.--<a href="http://cloudtbirds.com">cloudtbirds.com</a>--
