ORLANDO, Fla. – After their performances at the UAH Chargers Invitational this past weekend, the Sunshine State Conference announced Nicholas Scarangelli and Emily Tubbs as the SSC Runners of the Week.

For Scarangelli, this is his second weekly honor of the season, while Emily Tubbs becomes the first Eagle to win Female Runner of the Week this season.

Scarangelli led the team to a fourth-place finish in a 40-team field, setting a personal record in the 8K with a time of 23:48.6, and simultaneously recording the second-fastest time in Embry-Riddle program history. The junior from Ocean City, New Jersey placed sixth overall and finished as the top Sunshine State Conference runner in the field. By the end of the race, the Eagles had recorded the second-fastest combined team time in program history of 2:02:38.

Tubbs also delivered a record-breaking performance last weekend, setting an ERAU program record and personal best in the 6K with a time of 21:02.5. Her time broke the previous school record by 16.2 seconds, and led her to a sixth place overall finish in the event and was the top runner from the SSC. Tubbs led the way for the Blue and Gold, as the team went on to break the combined team time record by 2:17, recording a new time of 1:48.29.

Each team will be off this upcoming weekend, as they start to prepare for the Sunshine State Conference championship. Those races are scheduled for November 7 in Lakeland, Florida, with the men beginning the day at 7:45 A.M. and the women's race following shortly behind at 8:45 A.M.
