SYRACUSE, N.Y. – Graduate student Jeff Scull (Jordan Station, Ontario) and senior Flings Owusu-Agyapong (Toronto, Ontario) have been named Syracuse University Scholar-Athletes of the Week for the week of December 21, 2009.

Scull is a distance runner on the SU track and field team. He last finished 47th (30:21) at the NCAA Cross Country Championship, helping Syracuse make history with a program-best 14th place finish. Scull was also a member of the Northeast Regional and BIG EAST championship teams, when he finished with times 31:18 and 25:11, respectively. The men's team finished the season ranked ninth nationally, which is the highest ranking in school history.

Scull, who currently enrolled in the exercise science graduate program, became a recipient of the NCAA's Elite 88 award at the Division I Cross Country Championship.

Owusu-Agyapong set two Syracuse records last season, including the 55m dash (7.00) and 60m dash (7.38). She also earned a first-place finish in the 100m dash (11.66) and placed seventh in the 200m dash (24.58) at the 2009 UNC Outdoor Invite.
