INDIANAPOLIS -- Detroit senior Colin Creagh (Chesterfield, Twp., Mich.) is the Horizon League Men’s Runner of the Week, while Valparaiso senior Jessica Richardson (Columbus, Ind.) is the Horizon League Women’s Runner of the Week for the week of Oct. 13-19. Richardson collects the award for the third time this season. The Detroit men’s cross country team competed at the Canisius Alumni Classic this past weekend. The squad placed second overall while competing against runners from Canisius, Niagara and the University of Buffalo cross country and track club.

The senior ran the 8K course in a time of 25:06, just four seconds shy of his personal record and five seconds ahead of the runner-up. Creagh ran the entire race in the front pack against 51 fellow competitors. Valparaiso’s women’s cross country squad raced at the Bradley Classic last Friday. In a field of 30 teams, the Crusaders had a team finish of 23rd and collected 578 points. Richardson continued to lead Valparaiso at another event, placing seventh overall in a field of 294 runners. The senior finished the 6K course in a time of 21:12.4, breaking her personal record by almost 40 seconds. She also crossed the finish line setting the second-fastest Crusader time ever in a 6K race. Detroit and Valparaiso continue competition at the Horizon League Championships November 1. The women’s race begins at 11:00 a.m. CT followed by the men’s at 12:00 p.m. CT.
