RICHMOND, Va. - The Seawolves made it a clean sweep this week as Alexander Medina and Alejandra Garcia took home both CAA Runner of the Week awards.

The freshman Medina won on the men's side after a second-place finish in the 5K at the Short Course Run last week. With a time of 15:16.1, he was one of 19 runners in the field of 90 to finish sub-16 minutes. Medina led the way for a formidable Seawolves squad that saw all six runners finish in the top 12, giving Stony Brook its fourth team victory of the season.

As for Garcia, the junior posted a fourth-place finish in the 5K with a career-best time of 18:32.4. This was nearly 25 seconds faster than her previous PR of 18:56.6 set last year and was one of only nine times under 19 minutes out of 83 runners.

These are the first career CAA Runner of the Week awards for both runners.
