(ROCHESTER, N.Y.) – Junior Andrew McGovern of the Carnegie Mellon University men's indoor track and field team was named University Athletic Association (UAA) Athlete of the Week for running events. The junior earns the honor following his performance in helping the Tartans win the 14th Annual Battle for the Obelisk versus Case Western Reserve University.

McGovern ran a personal-best time in the 800-meter run crossing in 1:53.13 to win the event. He was also part of the 4x400-meter relay that placed first. His time in the 800-meter run converts to 1:51.54 since the race was ran on a flat track and ranks sixth nationally and tops in the UAA.
