APPLETON, Wis. — Lawrence University cross country star Josh Janusiak was named the Midwest Conference Performer of the Week after winning his first collegiate title.
Janusiak (South Milwaukee, Wis./South Milwaukee) took first place at Lawrence’s Gene Davis Invitational this past Saturday. The sophomore covered the 8,000 meters at Reid Golf Course in 25:48 to win by nine seconds. Janusiak also set the fastest time in the Midwest Conference this season, bettering the mark he had set two weeks ago by six seconds.
Led by Janusiak, Lawrence finished fourth in the team standings, and the Vikings were the top finishers among the three Midwest Conference schools taking part.
This marks the second time this season that Janusiak has claimed Performer of the Week honors. He won the award on Sept. 27 after posting the league’s fastest time at the Brissman-Lundeen Invitational in Rock Island, Ill.
Lawrence returns to action on Saturday when it travels to Winneconne, Wis., for the Kollege Town Invitational at Lake Breeze Golf Club.
