RICHARDSON, Texas - Following a standout performance against elite regional and Division I competition, Oklahoma Christian freshman Ryder Strohman was named the Lone Star Conference Men's Freshman Runner of the Week for the second time this season, the league announced Wednesday afternoon.
Strohman earned the honor after pacing the Eagles at the prestigious 88th Cowboy Jamboree on Saturday morning at The Greiner Family OSU Cross Country Course in Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Navigating a demanding 8-kilometer course, the Holliday, Texas, native recorded a team-best time of 25:29.8 to finish 66th overall in a stacked field of 215 collegiate runners.
This marks Strohman's second weekly conference accolade of his debut collegiate campaign. He previously captured LSC Freshman Runner of the Week honors on Sept. 9 following his third-place finish at the season-opening Distance After Dark meet.
