Scott Earns ECC Rookie of the Week Kudos For Third Time
CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (Sept. 30, 2013) - On Monday, the East Coast Conference selected freshman Mike Scott (Fultonville, N.Y.) of the LIU Post men's cross country team as its rookie of the week. This is the third time in four weeks that he has won the award.
Scott received the honor for his effort at Saturday's Harry Anderson Invitational. He covered the 8,000-meter race in a time of 25:53.8, which was good for a second-place finish. The Pioneers also came in second as a whole in the race.
Scott continues to boast a prolific pace through the green and gold's first three meets of the season. He was third at the LIU Post Invitational (Sept. 14), and fifth at the St. John's-Hofstra Fall Festival (Sept. 7).
Scott and the Pioneers are back in action Saturday (Oct. 5) at the NJIT Challenge in Jersey City, N.J. The meet is scheduled for an 11 a.m. start.
