Forest Wilbur Named MASCAC Runner of the Week

Worcester, MA --- Senior Forest Wilbur has been selected as this week's Massachusetts State College Athletic Conference (MASCAC) Runner of the Week after his performance this past week at UMass-Dartmouth's Shiner's Invitational.

Wilbur, a native of Barre, MA, placed 40th for the Lancers in a race that featured 278 entrants to help WSC finish in 30th place. Wilbur ran a time of 25:55 over the five mile course as the second-best finisher from the six other MASCAC schools in attendance.

Wilbur was the 2007 MASCAC Runner of the Year after a top finish at last season's all-conference meet.

Worcester State will compete this weekend along with four other area schools at the 2008 Worcester City Cross Country Championships. The action will begin this Saturday at 10:30 AM.
