West Alabama freshman Armando Fierro was named Gulf South Conference Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week on Wednesday.
Fierro posted a time of 26:16:74 in the 8,000-meter event and finished fifth overall at the JSU Foothills Invitational last week. His strong performance helped UWA to a second place finish in a field that included 10 teams.
This marks the second time this season that Fierro has been honored with a Student-Athlete of the Week award (9/19 and 10/10).
