Sophomore Jesse Moreno of the men's track and field team has been named this week’s Male Pepsi Student-Athlete of the Week.
Moreno, who broke the school 5,000-meter track record earlier this season, re-established his name on the list by running a 14:35.75 time at the Virginia Challenge Saturday.
A Riverside, Ohio, native, Moreno had orginally set the mark by running a 14:42.74 at the Releigh Relays this season.
Senior teammate Chase Ratliff eclipsed that figure with a 14:40.91 time at the Bluegrass Invitational. Moreno finished second at UVA in a field of 12 runners, besting Ratliff's time by five seconds.
