Langat Named Conference USA Cross Country Male Athlete of the Week
Sept. 17, 2002 Fort Worth -- After claiming individual honors at the UNT Opener, TCU's Jackson Langat has been named the Conference USA Cross Country Male Athlete of the Week.
Langat, a sophomore transfer from Tarleton State, posted a time of 20:35 in the men's four-mile race to lead the TCU men to a third-place finish. Langat's time was 30 seconds ahead of his nearest competitor as UTA's Jacob Cedertun was second with a time of 21:05.
"Jackson has made great strides in his cross country running," said cross country coach Derek Koontz. "He worked very hard over the summer, and that became apparent with his showing at the UNT Opener."
Marquette's Susan Barth was named the C-USA Cross Country Female Athlete of the week for the second consecutive week. Langat and the rest of the Cross Country Frogs will return to action on Friday, September 20, when they participate in the Sam Houston Invitational.
