NEW ORLEANS – For the third time this fall, University of South Alabama cross country runner Kirami Yego was named the Male Sun Belt Conference Runner of the Week as announced by the league office on Wednesday.
With the honor, he became the first three-time winner of the Sun Belt's Men's Runner of the Week honor since Louisiana's Stanley Limoh also earned the accolade three times during the 2017 season. Yego is the first male South runner to earn the honor three times in the same season since Micah Tirop, who did so on four occasions (9/17, 9/30, 10/14 and 10/21) in 2008.
