SPARTANBURG, S.C. – UNCG sophomore Paul Chelimo was named the Southern Conference Men's Indoor Track Athlete of the Week, the league office announced on Wednesday. The selections are made by the league's track and field coaches.
Last weekend, Chelimo won the mile at the Hokie Invitational in Blacksburg, Va., with a conference-leading time of 4:08.27. The Kenyan native broke his personal best and the UNCG school record with his performance.
