Medgar Evers College cross country standouts Brianna Lindo and Brandon Walker earned City University of New York Athletic Conference (CUNYAC) Honorable Mention recognition for the period of Oct. 12-18 following record-breaking performances and strong finishes for the Cougars.

Lindo, a sophomore, delivered a historic week by setting two program records. She opened the week at the Lincoln University Championship Tune-Up, finishing the 3,000-meter race in 13 minutes, 32 seconds to place 10th among 34 scoring runners. She later established a new Medgar Evers 4K record with a time of 17:20 at the Cougars' Double Dual meet at Giralda Farms. Her second-place finish helped Medgar Evers secure victories over Lehman College and Saint Elizabeth University.

Walker, a freshman, also enjoyed an impressive week, highlighted by a first-place finish in the men's 4K at the Double Dual meet. He crossed the line in 14:13.2, helping the Cougars defeat Lehman and Saint Elizabeth. Earlier in the week, Walker clocked 15:07.7 in the 4K at the Lincoln University Championship Tune-Up, placing 11th among 41 scoring runners.

The Cougars will return to action Sunday at the 2026 CUNYAC Cross Country Championships at Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx. The women's race is scheduled to begin at 9:30 a.m., followed by the men's competition at 10:30 a.m.
