A pair of New York University student-athletes were honored for their outstanding performances last week.

Jimena Menendez of NYU's women's tennis team earned University Athletics Association (UAA) Athlete of the Week honors, while Jomyuth Luangtana-anan of the men's golf team made the Liberty League Performer of the Week Honor Roll. 

Menendez was a perfect 4-0 in her matches over the weekend as NYU opened its 2024-25 season at The College of New Jersey Invitational in Ewing, NJ. The returning All-American posted singles (6-7, 6-2, 13-11) and double victories (6-4) vs. opponents from Ithaca College on Saturday and was victorious again in singles (6-0, 6-2) and doubles (7-5) on Sunday vs. her opponents from host TCNJ.

There was no team scoring at the event.    

Luangtana-anan shot a one-under-par 70 on Sunday in the final round of the Duke Nelson Invitational, which was held at the Ralph Myre Golf Course in Middlebury, VT, on Saturday and Sunday. He came in 10 strokes better than his round on Saturday and moved up from 66th place to 18th overall in the 120-person competition.

His performance helped lead NYU to a 13th-place team finish.
