Goodwin Named GLIAC’s
Runner of the Week

DETROIT – WSU junior Brian Goodwin (Dearborn Hts., Mich/Annapolis) was named GLIAC men’s cross country runner of the week, released by the conference office Oct. 2.

Goodwin ran the 29th Annual Paul Short Run in WSU record time of 25:03.41 for 8000 meters. He finished the race in 16th place overall, the highest finish by any non-Division I runner.

The previous record was 2001 All-American Nick Allen’s 25:05 at last year’s Paul Short Run. Goodwin always broke his own personal best by 47 seconds (25:51).

Goodwin is the first Warrior on the men’s side to win the honor this season, but joins Shelly Vickery from the women’s team who was the conference’s top runner in week one (Sept. 10).

The Warriors next competition is Oct. 5 at the Cardinal Cross Country Classic hosted by the University of Louisville
