WEST CHESTER, Pa.- The United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) released its Division II Cross Country National Athletes of the Week on Monday afternoon, and freshman
Kyle Tracey (Collegeville, Pa./Perkiomen Valley) earned M-F Athletic Division II Men's Cross Country National Athlete of the Week honors.
Tracey picked up his second win in as many meets to start his collegiate career as he paced the field in the 8K at the Dickinson Long-Short Invitational with a time of 25 minutes and 38.50 seconds. This time is the 10th-fastest 8K among Division II freshmen this fall and the 53rd-best in all of Division II heading into the third week of the collegiate cross country season.
Tracey has won each of his first two collegiate races, as he started his tenure as a Golden Ram with a 5K victory at the WCU Season Opener before winning the Dickinson Long-Short 8K race on Saturday morning.
West Chester will have a well-deserved week off from competition this weekend before returning to action next weekend in Coatesville for the Purple and Gold Open ahead of the Paul Short Invitational at Lehigh on October 2.
About M-F Athletic

It is still used very effectively to absorb blows to the heel. He started a Track & Field catalog in 1968. As years passed, the M-F Track & Field catalog became the leader in its field. Today, M-F's logo, "Everything Track & Field," stands for the largest selection of equipment and the best service in the industry.
