BEREA, Ohio – Baldwin Wallace University men's cross country junior Dillon Hach (Medina) has been named the Yellow Jacket Men's Athlete of the Month for November 2025.

To be considered for the monthly honor, a male or female student-athlete must have been nominated for at least one Ohio Athletic Conference (OAC) weekly award in his or her respective sport but not have received the weekly accolade. From the pool of nominees, members of the Athletic Communications staff, together with student assistants from the department's social media team, select the monthly winner.

Hach demonstrated perseverance while having one of the most remarkable fall seasons in program history. The junior competed in the NCAA Division III National Championship on November 22, and he was the first Yellow Jacket to qualify for this event since 2011. His November started with a fifth-place finish at the OAC Championships while helping the team to a third-place finish – the highest team mark in Head Coach Joe Eby's 11 years at the helm.

At the NCAA Division III Great Lakes Regional Championship on November 15, Hach competed on the same course he set a PR on just a month prior. His 11th place time of 25:23.6 was less than a second away from his previous time on that course, showing his consistency as a runner. He was named the Men's Yellow Jacket of the Week after this race. 

Hach finished his junior season with an 8k race at the NCAA Nationals. He earned his fifth-best time of the fall season of 26:38.1.
