Athlete of the Week - Andrew Benford


Andrew Benford takes top honors this week for his stellar performance at the A-10 Championships where he finished 2nd place in the 3K with a time of 8:29.66.

This is just another in a long line of great performances by this young star. He had a highly successful Cross Country season as one of Richmonds top runners in the fall, and has kept the momentum rolling right into indoor track. Earlier this winter Benford knocked off some big PR's as he ran 4:18.92 for the mile and 8:27.98 for the 3K (which ranks him as the fastest WV performer so far this year). We know it' s just a matter of time before Andrew has a slew on Conference titles to call his own, and hopefully a few trips to NCAA Nationals to go along with it.
