Talya Williams (Schenectady, N.Y.) and freshman
Jeffrey Reyes (Bay Shore, N.Y.) were named the East Coast Conference Cross Country Runners of the Week.
Williams won the 5k at the Fordham Fiasco on Saturday (Sept. 10). Her time of 18:53 shattered a 13-year program record at Van Cortlandt Park, breaking former standout Christa Imperiale's run of 19:01 in 2003.

Williams, Reyes and their LIU Post side return to action on Saturday (Sept. 17), when they run in the Monmouth Invitational, hosted by Monmouth University in Holmdel Park, N.J.
