Student-Athlete of the Week presented by GEICO Sept. 24, 2007

Senior Steve Hallinan (Drexel Hill, Pa./Cardinal O'Hara) has been named the American University Student-Athlete of the Week presented by Geico, the Department of Athletics and Recreation announced Monday.

Hallinan finished second in the field of 205 competitors at the Iona Meet of Champions Saturday. His time of 25:03.00 was just three-tenths of a second slower than the meet's first place finisher. As a team, the Eagles finished fifth behind Iona, Brown, Penn State and Navy, but finished ahead of 16 other schools including Army, Cornell and Harvard. Hallinan has been AU's top finisher in both meets he has competed this year.

Hallinan and the Eagles will be in action again this Friday, Sept. 28, as they travel to Manassas, Va., for the George Mason Invitational.
