December 9, 2025 | Men's Track & Field
BETHLEHEM, Pa. — Sophomore Thomas Cowan of the Boston University track & field team was named the Patriot League Track Athlete of the Week, the League announced Tuesday afternoon.
Cowan crossed the 800m finish line in 1:47.88 at the Sharon Colyear-Danville Season Opener on Saturday, finishing third overall and second among collegians. His mark is the second-fastest at BU and he is just one of two Patriot League runners to record a sub-1:48 time indoors since at least 2004. The time is also the fastest in Division I after the opening weekend of events.
This is Cowan's first Track Athlete of the Week honor and it marks back-to-back years of the Terriers having a men's Track Athlete of the Week recipient after the first weekend of competition.
