RINDGE, N.H. (October 15, 2001) - Senior Ken Gowell (Sabattus, Maine/Oak Hill) was named the Northeast-10 Conference men’s cross-country Runner of the Week this afternoon by the Conference’s office.

Gowell was rewarded after earning medalist honors for the second-straight week with his first-place finish at the Regis College Invitational on Saturday. He completed the eight-kilometer course with a time of 28:48 to help lead the Ravens to a third-place team finish in the six-school event.

For Gowell, it was his third medalist honor of the year as he also posted individual victories at the Rivier Classic (Sept. 14), with a time of 26:58, and the FP
Invitational (Oct. 4), with a time of 26:54.

This season, Gowell has yet to finish outside the top ten, posting five top-five and six top ten finishes entering this weekend’s Northeast-10 Conference Championships to be hosted by Bryant College on Sunday.

Gowell’s lone finish outside the top five came with his tenth-place run at the Shacklette Invitational, hosted by Saint Anselm College, just two days after his medalist finish at the Rivier Invitational.
