Leuchanka handling the collegiate stage just fine
ALBANY — University at Albany cross country star Alex Leuchanka, a June 2009 Shenendehowa High School graduate, was named America East Conference Men's Cross Country Performer of the Week.
The announcement was issued Tuesday by the league office and is the first time Leuchanka has been honored in his young college career.
