BEAVER FALLS, Pa. – Freshman cross country runner Tyler Caron was awarded his third Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) Newcomer of the Week honor on Tuesday when the conference released its weekly awards. He has consistently been one of the top freshmen in the PAC this season and has the men's program primed to pursue their second consecutive conference title at the end of October.

Caron ran a personal-best time of 26:20.9 at the Carnegie Mellon Invitational on Saturday morning, finishing in 58^th place overall in a meet that was largely made up of Division II runners. He played a key role in helping the Golden Tornadoes take ninth place as a team, second among Division III programs at the meet. His time was the third-best among competing Division III freshmen.

The men's program, along with the women, will race at the Oberlin Inter-Regional Rumble this Saturday, October 17, with the men set to begin at 10:30 a.m. It is the final scheduled meet for the GTs before the PAC Championships on October 31.
