PULLMAN, Wash. (Sept. 3, 2024) – Washington State freshmen cross country runners, Zenah Cheptoo and Evans Kurui, were named the women's and men's West Coast Conference Cross Country Runners of the Week, respectively, the conference announced Monday.
"Two absolutely amazing performances by our freshmen in Zenah and Evans – two course records," said WSU Director of Track and Field/Cross Country Wayne Phipps. "It's an incredible achievement for both."
At last Friday's season-opening WSU Alumni Open, held at the Colfax Golf Club, redshirt-freshman Cheptoo captured top honors in her first collegiate cross country race, crossing the line of the 4k race in 13:05.
