APPLETON, Wis. — Lawrence University cross country standout Jonah Laursen has been named the Midwest Conference Performer of the Week.
Laursen (Traverse City, Mich./West), a sophomore, took second place at this past Saturday’s Tom Barry Invitational at St. Norbert College. Laursen covered the four-mile course at Colburn Park in Green Bay in 20:52.6. He ran nearly a minute faster than he did at the same meet as a freshman in 2012.
Led by Laursen, Lawrence finished fourth in the team standings with 111 points. This marks the first time in his career that Laursen has earned the conference’s weekly honor.
Lawrence returns to action on Sept. 14 when it travels to the Concordia (Wis.) University Falcon Invitational.
