Junior Lyndon State Cross Country runner Joshua Grant received honors for North Atlantic Conference Player of the Week, for the week ending on September 11, 2011.
He recorded a time of 28 minutes and 16 seconds in the University of New England Invitational Cross Country Meet on Saturday. That time allowed Grant to finished in first place. The meet consisted of 99 runners.
Grant's preparation is what led to his strong performance.
"I did a lot of base training over the summer, and ran a lot with the new team. It was beneficial for everyone to have a good group of guys to run into the season with for the first race," Grant said.
His performance helped the Hornets finish third overall in the meet.
However, the star runner believes that there are areas where he can improve.
"Next time, I just want to be more mentally prepared," Grant said.
He will get chance when the Hornets host its next meet this Saturday at 11:15 a.m., on the Lyndon Cross Country Trails.
