AIKEN, S.C. – The Hutson-Etherredge Companies and Auto-Owners Insurance USCA Student-Athlete of the Week is men's cross country standout Daniel Kiprono.

A native of Nandi Hills, Kenya, Kiprono recorded a fourth-place finish at the Bobcat Invitational.

He sported a time of 26:24.04 in the 8k event. Kiprono's time helped the Pacers to an eighth-place team finish last weekend.

It marked the second-fastest time for an 8k in school history, trailing only his 8k time of 25:59.79 at the Queens City Invite.

The Hutson-Etherredge Companies and Auto-Owners Insurance USCA Athletic Department Student-Athlete of the Week honors one student-athlete each week from an in-season sport for their hard work and effort.
