Lawrence University cross country standout Emily Muhs has been named the Midwest Conference
Cross Country Performer of the Week.
Muhs (Janesville, Wis./Craig) raced to a career-best fourth-place finish at the UW-Whitewater Invitational this past Saturday. Muhs ran to a time of 24 minutes, 17 seconds, on the difficult 6,000-meter course.
Led by Muhs, an All-Midwest Conference honoree last season, Lawrence took fourth place in the team standings.
This is the first time a Lawrence women’s runner has been named cross country performer of the week since Colleen Detjens took home the award on Oct. 11, 2005.
Lawrence returns to action on Saturday when it travels to the Roy Griak Invitational at the University of Minnesota.
