It’s another SEC Freshman of the Week honor for Nicholas Yanek. He was the team’s top finisher for the second consecutive competition at the 8k Commodore Classic. He finished in 24:56.4 and was the third overall freshman to finish and first from the SEC. Yanek’s finish helped give the Bulldogs ninth overall out of 15 teams.
