Southern Oregon’s Eric Avila has been named the Red Lion Men’s Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week.
 
Avila, a junior from Chula Vista, Calif., won the Stanford Invitational and in the process took over the country's top collegiate time at any level this season. His time of 13:43.05 was nearly 20 seconds better than his previous best, which had also been an SOU school record. In addition to being a cross country and indoor DMR national champ, Avila now owns the NAIA's top marks in the 800 and 5K.
