EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana Men’s Cross Country senior Brady Terry has been named Ohio Valley Conference Runner of the Week for the second time in the last three weeks in an announcement by the league office Wednesday morning.
Terry finished 58th out of 327 competitors to lead the Screaming Eagles at the University of Missouri’s Gans Creek Classic last Friday. He was the top OVC finisher in the field and his eight-kilometer time of 24 minutes, 13.6 seconds ranks first in the conference.
As a team, the Screaming Eagles were 21st of 36 teams and were the top OVC school in a field that included Southeast Missouri State, UT Martin and SIU Edwardsville.
The Philpot, Kentucky, native also earned OVC Runner of the Week accolades two weeks ago following his first-place finish at the UT Martin OVC Preview. He has been USI’s top finisher in two of the three meets the Eagles have competed in this season.
Terry, a finance major at USI, raced to second-team All-OVC honors when he finished 13th at the OVC Championships last season.
USI returns to action Saturday when it sends a small group of runners to the “Live in Lou” Classic in Louisville, Kentucky. The Eagles will compete in the Blue Race, which is scheduled to start at 9:45 a.m. (CDT) for the men and 10:30 a.m. for the women.
The Eagles co-host the Angel Mounds Invitational October 18 before competing at the OVC Championships November 1 in Union City, Tennessee.
