CHERUIYOT EARNS SUN BELT RUNNER OF THE WEEK HONOR; UPDATE ON USTFCCCA REGIONAL RANKINGS

NEW ORLEANS – University of South Alabama cross country runner Andonet Cheruiyot was named the Sun Belt Conference Women's Runner of the Weeks as announced by the league office Wednesday afternoon. The honor marks the first of Cheruiyot's career and the 16th by a female runner in program history.

Cheruiyot's selection for the league honor marks the third this fall for a member of the women's cross country team as Carolien Millenaar has twice been selected (Sept. 3 and Sept. 25). The three selections for the Sun Belt award mark just the second time in program history that South Alabama has had three female runners selected for the honor in the same season with the other coming during the 1997 season.
