Army West Point plebe Marshall Beatty was chosen as Patriot League Male Rookie of the Week for the second time this season Tuesday. Beatty finished sixth with a time of 24:58.26 at this weekend's Star Meet against rival Navy. Beatty was the only freshman to finish the race inside the top-10. Army's ten-point victory was its largest over its rival since 1996.
