PURCHASE, N.Y. – Following their stellar performances at this weekend's NJIT Highlander Invitational, three members of the Manhattanville University cross country teams were recognized by the Skyline Conference with weekly awards. Joey DeMilio (White Plains, N.Y./White Plains) and Sam Delgado (New Rochelle, N.Y./New Rochelle) were named the conference's Male and Female Runners of the Week, while Amanda Alvarez () was selected as the Skyline Women's Rookie of the Week.

DeMilio paced the men in the 8K, placing 64^th with a time of 27:32.69. The senior's time was the fifth-fastest individual time by a Valiant in an 8K and was a 23-second improvement over his previous best split.

Delgado led the Valiant women in the 5K race with a time of 20:48.49, taking 67^th place amongst the field. Her time was the sixth-fastest modern finish posted by a Valiant and knocked more than two minutes off her previous best finish at last year's Highlander Invite.

Alvarez closed out the top performances as the second-fastest runner on the women's side, as the freshman made her 5K debut by placing 97^th with a time of 22:09.97.

The Valiants will look to ride the momentum of the strong performances into the Skyline Conference Championship meet on Oct. 25.
