Tobin's JennaStrong win earns him OAC Runner of the Week honors

For the seventh time in his illustrious Wilmington College Quakers career and the fourth time this season, graduate student Noah Tobin is the Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) Runner of the Week.

Tobin (St. Mary's, Ohio/Memorial HS) won the JennaStrong Fall Classic Friday evening, hosted at the Wilmington College Cross-Country Course, with a new career-best time of 24:26.9. This was the first time Tobin won this race in his career and his third win of the season.

Ethan Weston of Hanover College held strong with Tobin for the first 5,000 meters of the race, but Tobin eventually grew a sizable gap and won by almost 23 seconds in front of the home crowd.

Tobin and the Quakers return to action Saturday, Nov. 2 in Tiffin at Hedges Boyer Park for the 2024 OAC Championships.
