ROCK HILL, S.C. --- Tusculum University junior Emily Coddington has been honored as the South Atlantic Conference Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week for the week ending October 2, the SAC office announced Tuesday.

Coddington finished first at the Eli Cramer Invitational at Milligan University on Friday, covering the three-mile course in 18:30.6 to finish 30 seconds ahead of the runner-up. Her victory came on the heels of a second-place finish in her previous meet at Walters State on Sept. 10, and helped the Pioneers to a second-place result in the meet.

The Acosta, Pennsylvania native has three top-five finishes in nine career races heading into this Friday's Royals Challenge, hosted by Queens University at McAlpine Creek Park.
