With a top-seven finish in last year’s conference meet, Laws was named a member of the 2016 Great Midwest Athletic Conference First Team. He opened his senior campaign with one of the best 8K times in the conference so far this year.
His time of 25:42.70 outpaced the rest of the conference by a thin margin and was good enough for a 28th-place finish at the Stegemoller Classic, which is a Pre-Nationals event hosted by University of Southern Indiana.
The Trojans finished 14th in the field as a team at the event and will next compete at their own Trevecca D2 Showcase on Saturday, September 23.
Laws did not compete in TNU’s first event of the season, the Belmont Opener.
This is Laws’ first career cross country weekly honor. He earned indoor track athlete of the week last season as a junior.
