CENTER VALLEY, Pa. – Loyola University Maryland sophomore Nathan Galloway picked up Patriot League Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week honors on Tuesday after posting a win in the Greyhounds season-opener.

The award is the first for a Loyola men's cross country runner since the Greyhounds joined the Patriot League in 2013.
 
Galloway led over the first portion of the race before sliding back to third. He then built a lead over the final 1,000 meters of Friday's Towson Invitational and accelerated to the finish line for a first-place finish in 16:26.1, beating fellow Patriot League runner Brian Clayton of Lafayette by three seconds.

Additionally, women's cross country senior Kayleigh Caggiano was named to the Patriot League Weekly Honor Roll after her third-place finish on Friday.
 
Caggiano, Galloway and the Greyhounds will continue training before their next race, the Iona Meet of Champions on Friday, September 20, in The Bronx.
