BRENTWOOD, Tenn.- The Ohio Valley Conference rolled out its first weekly awards for cross country and University of Tennessee at Martin standout Luke Johnson was honored after his performance at the Redhawks Invitational.
Â
A redshirt junior, Johnson took first place by a whole three seconds en route to a first-place finish of 15:09.62 (personal best). His outing is even more impressive considering this was his first meet since coming off a season-ending injury a year ago.
Â
The Oxford, Miss. native spearheaded a scoring five that notched the first team victory for the Skyhawks since 2022. The UT Martin men dominated, winning by 18 points over the field. This is the second time in Johnson's career that he's been named OVC Runner of the Week.
Â
The Skyhawks return to action on Friday, Sept. 12 at the Southern Showcase in Huntsville, Ala.
