GREENEVILLE, Tenn. --- Tusculum women's cross country runner Tashianna Gray and men's soccer midfielder Mason Clark have been named the Zaxby's Athletes of the Week.
Gray ran the five-kilometer race at the Roane State Invitational in 20:56 to finish first by a margin of 18 seconds over the runner-up. The Longview, Texas native has been Tusculum's top finisher in each of its first two meets, taking 18th at the Railsplitter Open on Sept. 6.
Clark scored his first career goal with 36 minutes remaining in the Pioneers' 2-1 loss to fifth-ranked Wingate on Saturday. Clark's goal came on his only shot attempt of the match, after the freshman from Coral Springs, Florida had a team-high four shot attempts in Tusculum's season opener against King on Sept. 7.
The Tusculum University Athlete of the Week Award is sponsored by Zaxby's, located at 3280 Andrew Johnson Highway in Greeneville. The Zaxby's Athlete of the Week Award honors one male and one female athlete each week from an in-season sport.
