Oswego, N.Y. - Nick Montesano of the men's cross country team has been named the Oswego State Male Athlete of the Week for the week ending August 31, 2014.
The senior had an impressive run at the 6K SUNYIT Wildcat Invitational in Utica, early Saturday morning, leading Oswego State to its first invitational win of the young season.
Montesano captured first place individually, running his way to a new college-record in the 6K event with a time of 19:44. The previous record was set by Samson Dikeman (20:05) in 2010, which Montesano shaved 21 seconds off to set the new mark.
Montesano and crew will look to stay sharp, as Oswego returns home for the Don Masterson Invitational this Saturday at Hidden Fields.
