George Washington cross country runner Charles Mwangi has been named Student-Athlete of the Week following his third individual victory of the season at the Richmond Invitational.
Mwangi competed against runners from 16 men's teams and more than 100 individual athletes in the 8K race hosted by the University of Richmond. He crossed the finish line in 24:17.6, improving his previous personal-best time by 17 seconds.
The performance also moved Mwangi into fourth place on GW's all-time list for the 8K.
The GW cross country team will return to competition next weekend at the ECAC/IC4A Championships in Hampstead, New York. Meet times and event details will be announced at a later date.
