ARCATA, Calif. - Cal Poly Humboldt senior Isabel Perez-Zoghbi has been named the FloCollege/CCAA Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week for the week of Sept. 28-Oct. 4, the conference announced Monday.

Perez-Zoghbi earned the honor after placing second overall at the 51st Charles Bowles Invitational on Saturday in Salem, Oregon. She completed the women's 5K in a personal-best 16:59.3, averaging 5:28.1 per mile.

The Merced, California, local finished only behind Portland's Latham West and crossed ahead of runners representing several NCAA Division I programs, including Hawai'i, Nevada, Portland and Fresno State.

Perez-Zoghbi's runner-up performance gave Humboldt two runners among the first 26 finishers. Amaya Uvalle followed in 26th with a personal-best time of 18:14.9.

The Lumberjacks placed eighth in the 25-team field with 178 points. Humboldt finished ahead of 17 programs, including nationally ranked Eastern Oregon and Southern Oregon.

This is Perez-Zoghbi's first career CCAA Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week award.
