ERIE, Pa. – Emma Steele (women's cross country) and Antonio Wright (football) have earned Gannon University Student-Athletes of the Week honors for the week ending Oct. 11, 2022. The Gannon Student-Athlete of the Week Award is sponsored all year long by Chick-fil-A of Erie.
 
Steele, a senior from Ambridge, Pa., was Gannon's top finisher at last weekend's Ed Winrow Memorial Invite, completing the 6K course in 23:37.9 and earning eighth place. It was the first time all season that Steele was the quickest Golden Knight runner.

Wright, a redshirt sophomore from Palm Bay, Fla., posted career highs with 21 carries for 213 yards and 3 TDs. In the second half, he carried 14 times for 135 yards and two scores. He scored on runs of eight, 27 and 47 yards, matching his career total for rushing TDs. It was the first 200-yard game by a Gannon back since Melvin Blanks ran for 239 yards against Edinboro last year. In addition, it was Wright's second career 100-yard game.
