This week's honorees are two athletes familiar with XC sucess. One as a member of of one of the most storied programs in the country and one who has earned the Athlete of the Week awards multiple times in the last 2 years, including last week. One led his team to an almost unheard of 1 -5 sweep in a crucial early season test over the site of the NXN Regional Qualifying course while one continues to chalk up win after win while leading a team that might make some noise at the state level.

Congratulations to this week's honorees.
