CLEVELAND, Ohio (EMUEagles.com) - Eastern Michigan University cross country senior Ian Cook (Worthington, Ohio-Thomas Worthington) was honored by the College Football Playoff Foundation and Dr. Pepper with a $12,500 scholarship, the Mid-American Conference announced today, Sept. 14.

MAC Commissioner Dr. John Steinbrecher, along with Vice President/Director of Athletics Scott Wetherbee and President James M. Smith, surprised the EMU harrier with the award at Bowen Field House prior to the Eagle's season-opener, Sept. 3. Before being surprised with the award, Cook knew that he won a $2,500 check as a finalist for the Go Teach Award, but was completely astonished to learn that he won an additional $10,000 as the conference selection.
