Stafford, Va. | Colonial Forge
Christopher Newport senior Cullen Monahan earned CAC Track Athlete of the Week honors after moving to ninth in the nation in the 800 meters after posting a time of 1:53.85 at the Liberty Kickoff on Saturday. That clocking matched the second-fastest time ever registered by a Captain and the best mark since 2011. It also stands just .69 seconds shy of the CAC record set by Thomas Burke in 2015. Additionally, that time was the fastest registered by a non-Division I athlete at the meet, falling just over a second shy of the top overall mark.
