Alabama-Huntsville sophomore Blaise Binns was named Gulf South Conference Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week on Wednesday.
 
With a time of 25:13 in the 8,000-meter event at the Greater Louisville Cross Country Classic, Binns trumped the previous UAH school record of 25:30. He placed 13th overall, which was second among all NCAA Division II runners, in a pool that consisted mainly of Division I competitors.
 
This marks the second time this season that last season’s GSC Freshman of the Year has been honored with a Student-Athlete of the Week award (9/12 and 10/3).
