BURNSVILLE, MN – University of Mary men's cross country junior Gideon Hammah was named the Northern Sun's Athlete of the Week for the third time this season, earning the award each time he has raced.

The latest Athlete of the Week was won following the Yellowjackets/Battlin' Bears Open on Friday, Oct. 9. Hammah was the runner-up at the race, clocking in at 24:47.1. The Marauders were 2^nd overall at the meet.

The runner-up finish was the first time this season that the junior did not win a race. However, he did have the best 8k time across the NSIC. Hammah's wins occurred at the Marauders Home Opener and the Augustana Invitational.

UMary will conclude the regular season at home next week at the Marauders Tune-Up. The meet will be held at McDowell Dam in Bismarck, ND, on Oct. 23. The men will race at 4pm with women following at 5pm.
