Tallahassee, Fla. – Florida State cross country student-athlete Abdirizak Ibrahim was named the USTFCCCA NCAA Division I Men's Athlete of the Week for Sept. 12 on Tuesday.
Ibrahim brought home the win the men's 8k at the Firetower Project Run on Sept. 1, helping No.29 FSU to a perfect score of 15 points for the victory. He was also recognized as the ACC Men's Performer of the Week.
The Seminoles packed up in the men's race with Ibrahim leading the charge, crossing the line at 23:53.56. It was the first race for Ibrahim in the Garnet and Gold.
"This is a great honor for Abdirizak," FSU head coach Bob Braman said. "He's a two-time All-American but he wants more in his final season. This is a super start towards that goal."
This is the first national recognition for an FSU XC athlete since Adriaan Wildschutt took home two honors during the 2021 season.
Florida State will return to Boone on Sept. 15 to race in the Covered Bridge Open. Races will start at 10 a.m.
