Brooklyn College freshman Eyesmin Yunus has been named the City Unviersity of New York Athletic Conference (CUNYAC)/US Army Women’s Cross Country Rookie of the Week, for the week ending October 16th.
Competing at the 2011 York College 6K Invitational last Sunday at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx, NY, Yunus was the first BC runner to cross the finish line with a personal best time of 28:42, which was good for a 12th place individual finish in the field of 104 runners.
The Bulldogs would go on to post a second place team finish out of 10 competing schools.
For Yunus, this marks the third time this season that she has garnered CUNYAC Rookie of the Week honors.
