NEW ORLEANS, La. – Davis & Elkins sophomore
Emeric Arnaud earned U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) National Runner of the Week honors for the second time this season, the organization announced Wednesday.
Arnaud captured the individual crown at last weekend's Mountain East Conference (MEC) XC Championships in Wheeling, cruising through the 8K course in 25:51.87 while helping the Davis & Elkins men's team to a runner-up finish.
Arnaud, who was named the National Runner of the Week following the season opener, became the first men's cross country conference champion since 1993. The native of Annecy Le Vieux, France picked up MEC Runner of the Year accolades and capped the brief spring cross country season with first-place showings in both races on March 5 and March 20.
Davis & Elkins shifts the focus to its outdoor track season, which continues on Friday, April 2 at West Virginia University.
