Three Receive MIAA Fall Weekly Awards

Three Hope College seniors have been named MIAA Fall Athletes of the Week: Olivia Fiebing in volleyball, Rebecca Markham in women's cross country and Elijah Smith in football.

Fiebing (Traverse City, Michigan / Central HS) is the MIAA Speciality of the Week for the first time in her career.

The libero helped the Flying Dutch win three of four matches last week, including two against nationally-ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater and Calvin University.

Fiebing averaged 17.8 digs and 2.25 aces over 15 sets. The political science major served a season-high six aces and collected 24 digs during a five-set victory at ninth-ranked Calvin on Saturday. Hope also defeated Alma College in three sets and seventh-ranked Wisconsin-Whitewater in three sets.

Markham (Hoffman Estates, Illinois / William Fremd) is the MIAA Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week for the first time in her career.

The civil engineering major earned her first MIAA individual title and helped the nationally-ranked Flying Dutch claim a share of their eighth consecutive MIAA team championship on Saturday.

Markham clocked a winning 6K time of 21 minutes, 3.8 seconds at Three Fires Golf Club in Holland.

Smith (Hastings, Michigan / Hastings) is the MIAA Offensive Athlete of the Week for the first time in his career.

The running back and mechanical engineering major rushed for a season-high 195 yards and two touchdowns during a 63-17 victory at Kalamazoo College on Saturday.

Smith scored on touchdown runs of 53 and 4 yards and aided Hope's season-high 459 rushing yards. The 459 yards were the fourth-most in an NCAA Division III game this season.
