Tobin was named OAC Runner of the Week once in 2021 (Sept. 13), 2022 (Sept. 12) and 2023 (Sept. 11).
Tobin (St. Mary's, Ohio/Memorial HS) won the 8K Franklin College Grizzly Invitational on Saturday, besting a pack of 325 runners with a time of 25:03.6. He had an average mile pace of 5:02.5. He bested the second-place finisher by 14 seconds.
