Aurora University senior Deedee Colon Maldonado was named Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) Women's Indoor Track and Field Student-Athlete of the Week, as selected by the league's athletics communications professionals. The honor is the fifth in 2025 for Colon Maldonado.

Colon Maldonado earned the honor after she won her second consecutive NACC Women's Track Athlete of the Meet honor after sweeping the four longest individual running events - the 800, the mile, the 3,000, and the 5,000.

She kicked off her championships with a meet-record performance in Friday's 5,000. Colon Maldonado stopped the clock in 17:17.54, edging Concordia Wisconsin's Ainara Sainz De Rozas by just .45 seconds. She opened Saturday's competition with a win in the mile, then added the 800 title, before capping the day by edging Sainz De Rozas for the 3,000-meter crown in another championship-record performance. Colon Maldonado's winning 3K time of 9:54.92 broke her own championship record of 10:09.61 set just last year. Three of Colon Maldonado's victories came by less than a second, and the aggregate margin of victory for the four races was just 5.44 seconds.
