Athlete of the Week
Emmanuel Leblond, Sr., Johns Hopkins
Mountain View, Calif. | Mountain View
Leblond secured weekly honors for the third time this fall after delivering another standout performance at the Connecticut College Invitational, capturing the individual title in a field of 269 runners. It marked his fifth consecutive regular-season race as the top Division III finisher. In a stacked 34-team Blue Race at Connecticut College, the Blue Jays claimed the team title with 96 points, edging out 11 nationally-ranked opponents — including four top-10 teams: No. 4 NYU, No. 7 SUNY Geneseo, No. 8 Williams and No. 9 Tufts. Leblond crossed the line first, finishing more than 11 seconds ahead of runner-up Ryan Hagan of SUNY Geneseo.
