Senior was named league’s top runner of the week for the second time this season.

NEW ORLEANS – Marshall University men's track and field senior Brett Armbruster has been named the Sun Belt Men's Track Athlete of the Week on Wednesday as announced by the conference office. 

The announcement marks the second weekly award for Armbruster, joining Abby Herring as the second 2x weekly award winner for Marshall track and field or cross country in 2022-23. 

"Brett 'The Jet' Armbruster just continues to amaze us every week!" Head Coach Jeff Small simply said. 

Armbruster set a new PR with a 1:49.80, to win the 800 at the South Florida Invitational last week. The time is the top mark in the conference. The senior from Barboursville is within a second of breaking the school record set in 1999 (1:49.31).
