Fifth-ranked College of Idaho’s Alex Martin was named the Red Lion Men’s Cross Country Runner of the Week, his second honor of the year.
A senior from Bend, Ore., Martin had a dominant race against the top NCAA Division I and Division II programs on the West Coast, recording the fastest 8K time by a C of I athlete since 2012 with a 24 minutes, 24 second time. Martin helped the fifth-ranked Yotes to an eighth-place team finish in the 37-team field that included 12 nationally or regionally ranked teams in NCAA Division I or II.
