Emory University senior Tommy Fyffe (Cincinnati, OH) has been named the University Athletic Association Co-Cross Country Athlete of the Week following his performance at the Jacksonville State Foothills Invitational last weekend.  Fyffe shares the honor with Paul Norton of Brandeis University. It marks the second time this year and third in his career at Emory that he has earned the honor.

Fyffe helped the Eagles to a first-place finish out of seven teams at the Invitational by pacing the 74-runner field with a personal best 8K time of 24:34.  Fyffe's effort not only was the top mark in the race but also represented the second-fastest time on record in school history.  It marked the second time this season that he had claimed the top spot in a race as he finished first out of 123 entries at the season-opening Sewanee Invitational.

The 12^th-ranked Eagles return to action on October 17 when they compete at the Quaker Invitational in Greensboro, North Carolina.
