PSAC Men's CC Athlete of the Week - 6
Following a strong performance at the National Invitational, Lock Haven's NICK HILTON has been named Men's Cross Country Athlete of the Week.
Nick Hilton - Lock Haven
Junior
Reading / Exeter Township
Hilton was the top Division II runner at this past weekend's National Invitational hosted by Lock Haven. The event, hosted annually by Penn St., was moved to Lock Haven due to poor weather and course conditions.
The field of 130 runners was made up of numerous Division I competitors and former collegiate standouts. Fifth overall, Hilton ran the 8K course in 25:14, only eight seconds back of the top collegian, who finished second overall.
Hilton's efforts led Lock Haven to a fourth place finish in the team standings, ahead of rivals East Stroudsburg, Slippery Rock and IUP in the 11-team event.
