MEN'S ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Tyler Buchanan, Wayne State
Tyler Buchanan (Fenton, Mich./Linden) earned his first career GLIAC Cross Country Athlete of the Week award after helping the Warriors to a second-place finish at the Lock Haven Invitational this past Saturday. The Warriors trailed only Division I Cornell. As an individual, Buchanan placed second in the race in a time of 24:15.5, trailing the first-place runner (24:15.10) by just 0.4 seconds. The sophomore has logged back-to-back top-two finishes to start this season.
WOMEN'S ATHLETE OF THE WEEK: Reagan Justice, Wayne State
Reagan Justice (Canton, Mich./Salem) has been selected GLIAC Cross Country Athlete of the Week for the second time in her career after guiding the Warriors to a second-place finish at the Lock Haven Invitational on Saturday (Sept. 24). The Green and Gold finished behind Division I Cornell. Justice has posted back-to-back top-two finishes after crossing the finish line in second place this past weekend with a time of 21:20.0. This effort comes fresh off the heels of a dominant showing at the Northwood Invitational earlier this month, where Justice topped the field by more than 25 seconds.
