Bennie won his first collegiate race on Friday
After cruising to his first-career individual victory at the Harry Groves Spiked Shoe Invitational, Colin Bennie was selected as USTFCCCA National Men's DI Athlete of the Week.
The Princeton, Mass. native raced to a time of 25:20 for the No. 3 ranked Orange to win the race by a full-10 seconds. Bennie improved on his third-place finish at the event from a year ago by more than a minute.
It was the first race of the year for the sophomore, who earned All-ACC and USTFCCCA All-Northeast Region honors last year as a redshirt freshman.
Bennie and the Orange will compete at the Coast-to-Coast Battle in Beantown on Friday, Sept. 25 for its next competition.
