Ben Olson was dubbed the Summit League's Men's Cross Country Athlete of the Week in announcement by the league office Tuesday afternoon.
Â
Olson was the individual champion at the SDSU Classic (Sept.10) and led the Jackrabbits to a perfect team sweep of their competition.

This is the first cross country weekly honor Olson has received in his collegiate career thus far.
