WASHINGTON - For his efforts in leading American University men's cross country to a third-place finish at the 2025 Patriot League Cross Country Championships, senior Kaden Kluth has been named the Eagle of the Week for the week of October 27-November 2. Kluth placed fifth individually, which ranks as the highest finish for AU since 2012.

Kluth completed the 8k course in 24:25.6, with his fifth-place finish earning him All-Patriot League First Team honors. His previous best finish was 12th in 2023, and his performance helped the men's team jump four spots in the standings from a year ago.

Next up for the Eagles is the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional, again hosted by Lehigh, on Friday, Nov. 14.
