Two Yellow Jackets Named OAC Players of the Week

BEREA, OHIO -- Baldwin Wallace University senior CAPITAL ONE Academic All-American cross country runner Kenny Janosko (Mentor) and junior football punter Matt Harmon (Canfield) have been chosen as Ohio Athletic Conference Players-of-the-Week.

Janosko won his award for placing eighth of 376 total runners at last Saturday's Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology Gibson Family Pre-National Meet in Terre Haute, Indiana as he covered the 8K course in 25:45.1 overall. Janosko, also the 2011 OAC Co-Cross Country Runner of the Year, has led BW in all five of its meets this season.

The men's and women's cross country teams are back in action this Saturday, Oct. 13 when they travel to Oberlin, Ohio to participate at the Oberlin College Inter-Regional Meet at 10:30 a.m.

Harmon earned his honor for his efforts as the Yellow Jacket punter in last Saturday's 22-20 victory at Ohio Northern University. He punted six times for a 37.2-yard average with a long punt of 50 yards and had two of his punts land inside the ONU 5-yard line with one at the 2-yard line and one at the 4-yard line. A year ago, Harmon led the OAC with 21 punts landing inside the opposition's 20-yard line.

The 23rd-ranked (AFCA Division III national poll) football team, 4-1 overall and 3-1 in the OAC, is home this Saturday, Oct. 13 and hosts OAC foe Wilmington College on Homecoming on Tressel Field in The George Finnie Stadium at 2:00 p.m.  BW's game will be televised by SportsTime Ohio.
