LOCK HAVEN, Pa. — Rewriting the Gannon cross country record books during his time in Erie,will close out his career with yet another first for the program, as the senior was named the PSAC Men's Cross Country Athlete of the Year, the league office announced Friday afternoon.Westrick becomes the first Gannon runner to earn conference player of the year honors.After becoming Gannon's first NCAA qualifier last season, Westrick has ripped off a string of firsts this year in his senior campaign. He earned the program's first conference championship back in late October, culminating in the first individual to win a PSAC title and the Champion Scholar award in the same year in conference history.Two weeks later, he became Gannon's first three-time all-region performer with a fourth-place finish at the Atlantic Region championships, earning him a spot at nationals for the second consecutive season.In addition to his title at the conference championship, Westrick also crossed the line first in two other events this season, winning the Gannon-Mercyhurst Invitational for the second straight season, as well as the Bloomsburg Invitational on the same course that PSACs would be held on two weeks later.Westrick finished up his career by recording top-five finishes in 13 of his final 16 races, and earned first-team All-Atlantic Region and All-PSAC honors in each of the past three seasons.An environmental engineering major, Westrick may somehow be more impressive off the course than on it. Maintaining a spotless 4.00 GPA through 116 completed credits, he has earned numerous accolades, including the NCAA Elite 90 award at this season's national championships, the PSAC Champion Scholar award, a first-team CoSIDA Academic All-America award , and a PSAC Fall Top 10 honor
