Sept. 6th, 2023 - The North Central College men's cross country team has secured its first College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin (CCIW) Student-Athlete of the Week award of the 2023 season, with senior
Max Svienty claiming the honor. The CCIW announced this week's honorees Wednesday.
Svienty won the John Kurt Invitational, hosted by Wartburg College, in Waverly Iowa on Friday. Svienty owned a nearly 12-second lead by the midpoint of the race and prevailed by six seconds in a time of 15 minutes and 27 seconds over a five-kilometer course. Svienty's effort led the No. 1-ranked Cardinals to a comfortable win in the competition with 17 points, as they also claimed the top four spots in the first meet of the season.
The Cardinals will host the NCCXC Invitational Friday at St. James Farm in Warrenville at 3:30PM.
