Kamu Grugier-Hill from football and Emily Brelsfoard from women's cross country have been named the Back To Health EIU student-athletes of the week.

Grugier-Hill helped the Panthers win their third straight OVC football game with a 41-10 win on the road.   He made 19 tackles with four tackles for loss as he was named the OVC Defensive Player of the Week.   In addition to his tackles he played a part in both turnovers that EIU gained.  He forced a fumble and intercepted a pass in the end zone to end a Tennessee Tech drive.   It was the highest number of tackles by an EIU player since the 2004 season.

Brelsfoard led the EIU women's cross country team as they placed second at the Ohio Valley Conference cross country championships in Alabama.   Brelsfoard earned second team All-OVC honors placing ninth in the field with a time of 17:45.16.   The 5K time was a personal best for the sophomore and the fifth fastest time in school history.   Brelsfoard was one of three EIU runners with a sub-18 minute time at the championship race.
