Stephens named RSC Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week for Point Park
MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Point Park University senior Xavier Stephens had a big Top-10 finish this past week to win River States Conference Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week honors for Sept. 16-22.
Stephens, from Uniontown, Pa., placed 10th out of 373 runners at the Lock Haven University Invitational. Stephens ran a time of 25 minutes, 47 seconds in the 8,000-meter race to break his own school record. Despite many teams from NCAA Division II and some from Division I, Stephens registered the Top 10 and led the Pioneers to 11th place of 32 teams.
Point Park is off until Oct. 12 at the Carnegie Mellon Invitational.
