Fay Wins Third Career Pac-12 Weekly Honor

SEATTLE – Coming off a second-straight win at the Bryan Clay Invitational, Brian Fay has been named Pac-12 Men’s Track Athlete of the Week for the third time in his career. He won the same honor last year after the first time he won the Bryan Clay Invite 5,000-meters.
 
The three career Pac-12 Men’s Track Athlete of the Week awards put Fay second in program history behind Hall of Famer Ja’Warren Hooker, who won the award five times.
 
Fay ran his first full outdoor race of the season Friday night in Azusa, Calif. and pulled away from an elite field to win in 13:21.99, which stands as the fastest time in the NCAA this season by more than four seconds over the No. 2 mark. The Dublin, Ireland native now holds the three-fastest 5k times ever run by a Husky.
 
In just his second season at Washington, Fay has already earned six All-America honors in cross country and track, and won the 2022 West Region cross country title and the 2022 Pac-12 steeplechase title.
 
This is the third Pac-12 Athlete of the Week honor for UW this season.
