December 9, 2025 | Track & Field
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Fifth year Vera Sjöberg earned her first career Atlantic Coast Conference track and field accolade when the ACC named her Women's Track Performer of the Week on Tuesday, Dec. 9.
Sjöberg (8:43.06) is now the eighth fastest 3k athlete in NCAA history as she shattered the twenty-two-year-old school record held by Shalane Flanagan in the women's 3000m. Sjöberg is not only the first woman in school history to run a sub-nine-minute 3k, but she also broke the record by 17 seconds.
Today's award marks the 13th career weekly conference award, having won a combined 12 patriot league cross country and track weekly honors during her time at Boston University.
