NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Iona College men’s cross country senior Nick Lachman was named MAAC Runner of the Week in the first honor awarded for the 2014 season.
Lachman finished first at the 2014 Marist Season Kickoff at Vassar College. He led a trio of Gaels in the top three spots, completing the 6k course in 18:54.06. Lachman was less than six-tenths of a second in front of teammate Andy Adamovics and was more than a second and a half ahead of red shirt freshman Andrew Tario. Iona tied the host Red Foxes for first place in the team standings with 30 points.
The Gaels return to action Saturday, Sep. 20 when they host the 20th Annual Br. John “Paddy” Doyle Meet of Champions at Van Cortlandt Park.
