Pasko Named Bobcat Athlete of the Week

MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga. (GCSU RELEASE) – Sophomore Rachel Pasko (Jefferson, Ga.) of the Georgia College cross country team, was named Bobcat Athlete of the Week for her efforts during the week ending Oct. 27. This marks the first such honor for Pasko and the Bobcat women’s cross country team this season.
