University of the Cumberlands Athletics

Youssef Asslouj earned athlete of the week honors after leading the Patriots men’s cross country team to a third place finish at the NAIA National Championships.  Asslouj became the program’s top finisher as he crossed the line third at the championships with a time of 23:46.5.  That time is a new 8k program record for the sophomore and caps off a season where he was also the MSC Runner of the Year and a NAIA All-American.  The Settat, Morocco native is now a five time NAIA All-American and he helped Cumberlands placed third as a team for the second straight year.
