Bennett Melita has been named a Pioneer Athlete of the Week for the week of September 16th - 22nd. 

Melita was chosen for his performance in this past Saturday's Hamilton Invitational, a race which saw the sophomore sensation finish in 6th with a finish time of 15:42. Melita has been on a tear this year, capturing the Empire 8 Runner of the Week Award during the week of September 2nd. The Johnstown, NY native has reached another level early on in the fall and will look to build upon his success in the weeks to come.
