Mokgothu earns ASUN Runner of the Week award
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Siyabonga Mokgothu earned the first Atlantic Sun Conference Runner of the Week award after his second-place finish last Friday at the Florida Intercollegiate Invitational hosted by North Florida.

"Siya consistently trained throughout the summer, so seeing his hard work and dedication pay off is great! said head coach Argeo Cruz. " It's early in the season, and we will continue building for the main events this fall."
This is Mokgothu first ever ROW award and FGCU's tenth.
Mokgothu and the Eagles will be back in action on Sept. 12 in Huntsville, Alabama for the Southern Showcase hosted by Jacksonville State.
