GLIAC – Davenport University junior Luke Oyster has been named the GLIAC Men's Cross Country Athlete of the Week for the second time this season following his individual victory at the Wayne State Warrior Challenge on Saturday, Oct. 24.
The Shelby Township, Mich., native won the men's 8K race in 25:12.6 in New Boston, Mich., finishing 11.4 seconds ahead of teammate Jordan Domany for a 1-2 Panther finish. Oyster led Davenport to first place in the team standings with 43 points.
Oyster previously earned the weekly honor on Sept. 14 after placing second at the 7th Annual Northwood Invitational, where he completed the four-mile course in a collegiate-best 20:16.4 and helped Davenport secure the team title.
