SAN RAMON, Calif. - Cal State East Bay’s Leo Skellenger raced to his first career victory on the course en route to picking up California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) Runner of the Week honors for Oct. 2-8.

Skellenger, a sophomore from Livermore, Calif., claimed the individual crown at the UC San Diego Triton Classic with an 8k time of 26:25.3. Skellenger led the Pioneer men to second place as a team, their highest finish of the season. The squad came up just five points short of first-place UCSD and defeated CCAA foes Humboldt State, SF State, and Cal State L.A. in the team scoring.

The Pioneers return to the course Saturday, Oct. 14 at the SCU Bronco Invitational in Sunnyvale, Calif.
