Sevan Ikeda (Fremont, Calif.) was named the Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week for a fourth time this season.
Ikeda posted another Top 10 time as he breezed through the 8K course at WinterPlace Park last Saturday as the Bison participated in the Don Cathcart Invitational hosted by Salisbury University. Ikeda finished 16th overall with a time of 26 minutes and 21.80 seconds, which is the eighth fastest in Gallaudet school history, on a humid, wet and overcast afternoon. This was Ikeda's fourth collegiate race and the second on this course. A month ago, Ikeda posted a time of 25:29.20 which is the fourth fastest in program history at the Salisbury University Fall Classic.
Lancaster Bible sophomore Seana Dougherty was named the United East Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week. Dougherty had her best performance of the season as she raced at the Dickinson Lang & Short Invitational on Saturday. The sophomore crossed the finish line of the 6K race with a time of 24:22.5. Her efforts topped all Charger runners and was good enough for 18th in a field of 142 competitors. Dougherty's results also helped LBC to 12th place finish as a team.
