LOCK HAVEN, Pa. – Slippery Rock University distance runner Carissa Flynn was named the Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week when the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference announced its weekly awards Tuesday.
 
Flynn, a junior from Lenox Township, Pennsylvania, earns her second PSAC Athlete of the Week honor this season for her effort at the CMU Invitational hosted by Carnegie Mellon University last Saturday.
 
She finished fifth overall and was the third Division II finisher in a field of 240 total runners after covering the rolling 5,000-meter Youthtowne Fields XC Course in 18:00. That effort placed her 39 seconds ahead of the next highest finisher from any of the five PSAC teams in action at the event.
 
Slippery Rock finished sixth overall in the team standings out of 24 total teams and fourth among the 17 Division II teams at the event.
 
The Rock will take this week off before returning to action Oct. 24 at the LHU Go Fast River Run hosted by Lock Haven.
