Four straight!
Berkhedle wins another PBC Male
Runner of the Week honor
Clayton State freshman sensation finishes in Top 30 at Brooks
Memphis Twilight
 MORROW,
Ga. – October 10, 2007 – Another week –
another Peach Belt
Conference honor for Clayton State’s Walid Berkhedle.
The Peach Belt Conference released their
weekly honors for cross country on Tuesday, and for the fourth
straight week, Berkhedle was selected as the PBC’s Male Runner of
the Week following a strong performance at the Brooks Memphis
Twilight on Saturday.
Running in a loaded field ranging from
NCAA Division I to NAIA runners, Berkhedle placed 28 th
overall out of a field of 341 with a time of 25:32 in the 8K event.
It was the fourth-fastest time ever for a Clayton State runner in an
8K event, and Berkhedle shattered the Laker freshman 8K record which
was previously held by his older brother Adil Berkhedle.
Berkhedle was third-highest Division II
finisher in the meet, and the top runner from the Peach Belt in the
meet.
Berkhedle will no doubt be the runner to
beat in the Peach Belt Conference Championships on Oct. 20 in
Augusta.
