GREENVILLE, S.C. – A first-place finish Saturday at the Akiah McMillian Invitational has propelled junior Jackline Kosgei to being named Conference Carolinas Runner of the Week, league officials announced Monday afternoon.

The Eldoret, Kenya native crossed first with a time of 22:18.7, nearly six seconds ahead of second place, and tying her own time from last year's NCAA Southeast Regional for the seventh-fastest 6K time in school history. Kosgei now holds four of the top eight 6K times in school history.

Monday's announcement marks the sixth time in Kosgei's career she has earned the award.

Kosgei and the Braves will now prepare for the UAH Chargers XC Invite in Huntsville, Ala. hosted by the University of Alabama in Huntsville at John Hunt Park. Races are set to begin at 8 a.m.
