Sep. 30, 2014 - North Central College men's cross country runner Troy Kelleher has been selected as the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Athlete of the Week for Sep. 22-28, giving him three of the five awards that the conference has bestowed this season.

Kelleher has now received the CCIW's weekly award following each race in which he has competed in 2014. Most recently, he led the No. 1-ranked Cardinals to a decisive victory in the NCAA Division III Pre-National Meet at The Golf Center at Kings Island in Mason, Ohio, which will host the Division III National Championships in November. Kelleher won the individual championship by completing the 8,000-meter (five-mile) course in 23 minutes, 36.28 seconds as North Central scored a near-perfect 16 points to finish well ahead of the 31-team field.

The Cardinals have now won four of the CCIW's five weekly awards this season. Teammate Daniel Robles received the honor for the week of Sep. 1-7.

North Central travels to Notre Dame Golf Course in South Bend, Indiana on Friday for the 59th annual Notre Dame Invitational. The Cardinals will compete in the men's Gold Division race, which is scheduled to begin at 2:45 p.m.
