Koyiaki Named PBC Runner of the Week

Columbus, GA - Columbus State newcomer Meshack Koyiaki got off to a great start in the 2009 cross-country season opener at Berry College in Rome on Saturday. The sophomore breezed in ahead of the field, winning the individual title by some 30 seconds over teammate Nicholas Kering and leading CSU to a second place finish in the 20-team meet.
Koyiaki was named PBC Runner of the Week on Monday for his weekend performance in an announcement made by the league office in Augusta. Koyiaki posted the top time so far for a PBC runner in competition this fall with his 24:33 jaunt over the 8 K course.
He came to CSU after competing one season at Chattahoochee Tech in Marietta, where he earned All-America honors last year.
Koyiaki and his teammates will be back in action on September 26 at the Mercer Invitational in Macon.
