The USA South Athletic Conference has released the fourth Player of the Week listing for the fall with men's cross country athlete Clayton Thayer earning Runner and Rookie of the Week. This marks the second time this season a Piedmont men's cross country athlete has earned both titles in one week.
Thayer was the top runner for the Lions at the Rhodes College Invitational over the weekend in Memphis, Tenn., running a personal best, 28:35.90 for an 8k. This marks the second award for Thayer who earned Rookie of the Week in the second week of competition. The Lions have now swept the Men's Cross Country awards each week the Lions have competed.
The USA South Athletic Conference announces its weekly honor roll each Monday while the listing for golf is announced on Wednesdays. At least half of the teams in a sport must have competed within the previous week for honors to be awarded.
