University of Wyoming junior Paul Roberts has been named Mountain West Men's Cross-Country Athlete of the Week for the second time this season, the conference announced on Tuesday.
Roberts finished 12th at the Pre-Nationals race in Madison, Wisconsin, last weekend by finishing in 24 minutes, 8.2 seconds. That's the fifth-fastest 8K time since the program started keeping records in 1990. Roberts' finish was the best among runners from the Mountain West.
Roberts also helped lead the Cowboys to a fifth-place finish in the team race. That was better than No. 3 Wisconsin, No. 9 Colorado State, No.
