BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Fresh off her second straight victory to open the 2011 season, Ole Miss senior Logan Waites has been named Southeastern Conference Co-Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week, the league office announced Tuesday.

Waites, a senior from Hattiesburg, Miss., has produced back-to-back individual titles in the Rebels' first two meets - the Brooks Memphis Twilight Classic and the Delaware Invitational.

This past Saturday in Newark, Del., she took first place with a 6K time of 21:08.03, helping the Rebel women to their second straight team title, as well. With her performance, Waites shattered the 5-year-old course record at the challenging, hilly course by over 25 seconds. She also finished just 8 seconds off her personal-best 6K time set last year.

Waites and the Rebels will be back in action on Oct. 1 at the Greater Louisville Classic in Louisville, Ky.
