Cal Poly Pomona's Tom McDonnell has been chosen as the CCAA Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week, for the week of Sept. 30-Oct. 6.
McDonnell was the top Bronco at the DBU Old Glory Gallup in Grand Prairie, Texas, as he led Cal Poly Pomona to a second place team finish. McDonnell posted a personal best time of 24:14.1 in the 8K race. McDonnell bested his previous PR time of 24:42.8.
The junior from Newbury Park, Calif., was one of four Broncos to finish in the top 14. No. 8 ranked East Central (Okla.) won the team trophy 37-57 ahead of the 23rd ranked Broncos.
This is McDonnell's first CCAA Runner of the Week award. He was an All-CCAA finisher at the CCAA Championships in 2023.
Cal Poly Pomona returns to action on Oct. 19 with a short trip to Claremont, Calif., for the Pomona-Pitzer Invite.
