Benjamin Tuttle has been named the Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week after his performance at the Raleigh Relays at North Carolina State University.
In a field of division I athletes, Tuttle placed 18th in his heat of the 10,000m run, and managed to shave five seconds off the school record. His time of 29:47.09 established a new top mark in the conference this season and also was a minute lower than the NCAA Division II provisional standard time.
In setting a new school record, Tuttle established a new G-MAC record, surpassing his teammate Matt Brooker’s record time of 29:57.69 by over ten seconds.
