Junior runner earns third weekly honor of career
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – The Atlantic Coast Conference announced Wednesday that junior Dorcas Wasike has been named the ACC Cross Country Women's Co-Performer of the Week for the opening week of the 2018 season. Wasike shares the honor with Militsa Mircheva of Florida State.
Wasike is the first Louisville women's runner to receive this award, and it is her third weekly honor from the conference. During her freshman season in 2016, she was twice named ACC Freshman Performer of the Week on Sept. 20 and Oct. 18.
Last Friday at the Tennessee Dual, Wasike continued her run of terrific performances with a first-place finish, her second consecutive victory in the event. In the women's three-mile race, she broke her previous course record with a time of 17:14.94, besting runner-up Katie Thronson of Tennessee by nearly 25 seconds.
