WEXFORD, Pa. (Oct. 12) – The Waynesburg University cross country teams swept this week's Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) awards after running at the highly competitive Carnegie Mellon Invitational on Saturday.
Freshman Kyle Edwards led the Yellow Jacket men with a team-high 85th-place finish in the 153-runner field after crossing the finish line in 29:25.97. Edwards is the first Waynesburg men's runner to receive the weekly lauding since current junior Bill Moder won the award as a sophomore last season.
Freshman Megan Donovan picked up this week's women's award, which is her second of the season. The Akron, Ohio native led the Jacket women with a 30th-place finish at Schenley Park. The first-year standout finished the race in 20:59.3 and was the top place-winner from the PAC.
Waynesburg's last sweep of the two awards came exactly one year ago when Moder and former standout Megan Grover accomplished the feat in 2008.
