Innocent Ntwali Tabbed as ACC Freshman of the Week
October 03, 2023 | Cross Country
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – University of Louisville men's cross country freshman Innocent Ntwali has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Men's Freshman of the Week, as announced by the league office on Tuesday.
Ntwali made his collegiate debut at the Live in Lou Classic on Saturday morning, finishing as the second man through the tape for the Cardinals. The Miamisburg, Ohio native traversed the 8K course in a time of 25:01.5 to place just outside the top 100 in a field of nearly 400 individual competitors.
The honor marks the third straight season that a Louisville athlete has won the ACC Men's Freshman of the Week award, with Jack Moore earning the honor last September and Ian Kibiwot doing the same following his collegiate debut in 2021.
Ntwali and the rest of the Cardinals will return to action at Texas A&M's Arturo Barrios Invitational, which is set to take place on Oct. 13 in College Station, Texas.
