Cunningham notches Athlete of the Week award

After his win in the GLIAC Championships last weekend, Grand Valley State University’s Chris Cunningham has been honored as the GLIAC men’s golf Athlete of the Week.

Last year’s GLIAC Freshman of the Year put together a one-over, 217 at the GLIAC Championships, which was good for medalist honors. Cunningham is the first GVSU golfer to earn medalist honors at the GLIAC Championships since Matt Malloure in 2007.

Kinney clinches Athlete of the Week award

A week after her male counterpart, Grand Valley State University cross country runner Tyler Emmorey, was honored as the GLIAC cross country Athlete of the Week, senior Monica Kinney has received the award.

The second-place finisher – and highest finishing Division II runner – in the Notre Dame Invitational Gold race on Sept. 30, Kinney has paced the women’s cross country team all season long, and is one of the top returning runners from last season’s national championship team.
