GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Tusculum University sprinter Widchard Guervil and tennis player Caitlin McCulluough have been named the Zaxby's Athletes of the Week. Guervil earns this honor for a second straight week.
Guervil broke his own school records in the 100 and 200 meters and was the top Division II finisher in each event at the Gamecock Invitational on Saturday. Guervil was fifth in the 100 with a time of 10.31 seconds and took ninth place in the 200 meters in 20.86 seconds.
Guervil's time in the 100 meters was the second-fastest in Division II this season, and his mark in the 200 meters places him third on the Division II performance list. The Fort Myers, Florida native's mark in the 200 at South Carolina was the fastest in Division II last weekend.
McCullough won both of her matches in singles and doubles as the Pioneers clinched the outright SAC championship with wins over Lincoln Memorial (6-1) and Catawba (7-0). Playing at number-two singles for the Pioneers, McCullough defeated Julia Loos of Lincoln Memorial 6-3, 6-4 on Wednesday, then rallied for a 4-6, 6-3, 6-3 win over Sophie Hirsch of Catawba on Saturday. In doubles, the McCullough sisters ran their winning streak to 14 matches with wins over Lincoln Memorial (6-3) and Catawba (6-4).
McCullough (Belfast, Northern Ireland) went 8-2 in SAC matches this season and 14-4 in all dual matches, and has a 17-8 overall singles record this season. In doubles, the McCullough sisters were 10-0 in conference competition and 16-2 in dual matches, with an overall season record of 23-3.
The Tusculum University Athlete of the Week Award is sponsored by Zaxby's, located at 3280 Andrew Johnson Highway in Greeneville. The Zaxby's Athlete of the Week Award honors one male and one female athlete each week from an in-season sport.
