APPLETON, Wis. — Lawrence University cross country star Josh Janusiak has been named Midwest Conference Performer of the Week for the third time this season.

Janusiak (South Milwaukee, Wis./South Milwaukee) has captured the award after each of his last three races.

Janusiak took this week’s award after finishing 55th at the massive Kollege Town Invitational at Lake Breeze Golf Club in Winneconne, Wis. Competing in a field of 550 runners, Janusiak covered the 8,000 meters in 26:11 to finish 19 seconds ahead of the next-closest runner from the Midwest Conference.

Janusiak also won the award after setting the league’s fastest time at the Brissman-Lundeen Invitational in Rock Island, Ill. He took the honor again after bettering his mark for the conference’s best time on his way to winning Lawrence’s Gene Davis Invitational.

The Vikings are off this week and return to action at the Midwest Conference Championships in Beloit, Wis., on Oct. 29.
