HOUGHTON — Michigan Tech senior Clayton Sayen has been named GLIAC Track Athlete of the Week, the conference office announced Monday.

Sayen, a native of Houghton, Michigan, placed sixth in the 13th heat of the 1,500m at Raleigh Relays on Thursday. He had the fastest split from 300m-700m (1:01.38) and was the intermediate leader from 700m-1,100m en route to his 3:47.98 season opener.

Sayen bested eight student-athletes from Division I institutions in an effort that was an NCAA Provisional qualifying time.

He is currently one of seven student-athletes to already have ran a provisional qualifier in the event through the first two weeks of the outdoor campaign, with the fourth-fastest time.

The Huskies next official meet is slated for Apr. 8, heading to Rochester, Michigan, for the Golden Grizzlies Invitational.

Starting at $2.99/week.
