For the third straight week, senior Bailey Knowles of the Concord University women’s cross-country team has been voted the Mountain East Conference Athlete of the Week, the league office released Tuesday afternoon.
Former Christiansburg Blue Demon and current Concord senior Bailey Knowles (730) leads the field during an early season meet at Virginia Tech.
Knowles garners the award this week after placing 20th in the Virginia Tech Alumni Invite with a time of 23:53 for the 6,000-meter course. The Christiansburg native was the fourth non-Division I runner to come through the finish.
Behind Knowles’ performance, the Mountain Lions finished fifth as a team as the second non-Division I school behind Lynchburg College who placed fourth overall.
