ADA — Ohio Northern junior Ian McVey (Stow/Munroe Falls) has been named the Ohio Athletic Conference Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week for the week of Sept. 25-Oct. 1.

The junior earned the honor for the second time this season.

McVey posted a historic effort for the men's cross country team at the All-Ohio Championships last weekend.

For the first time in school history, Northern saw a men's cross country runner take the individual title at the All-Ohio Championships as McVey won the race in a season-low 25:14.

McVey led Northern to a first place finish as a team at the championships.

The Polar Bears return to action on Oct. 14 as they travel to Winneconne, Wis. to compete in the Wis.-Oshkosh Invitational at 10:30 am CDT.
