SIOUX FALLS -
Leah Hansen was named the Summit League's Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week in announcement by the league office Tuesday afternoon.
Â
Hansen has now produced back-to-back meet victories in the past two weeks at both the Augustana Twilight (Sept. 3) and now the SDSU Classic (last Friday - Sept. 10).
Â
Hansen ran away from the field at the SDSU Classic by roughly 15 seconds before second place crossed the line. Hansen's time was a new personal best of 18 seconds as she paced her way to sub-18 minute 5K (17:56.91).
Â
This is the first cross country weekly honor Hansen has received in her collegiate career thus far.
Â
UP NEXT
 Hansen and the Jackrabbits will travel to Falcon Heights, Minnesota, for the Roy Griak Invitational on Sept. 24, with races scheduled to begin at 10:30 a.m.
