University of Dallas: Athletes of the Week

IRVING, Texas - It's been an excellent week for the Crusaders, as the University of Dallas has picked up three Athlete of the Week awards.

Both cross country teams were on top of their game in the Bill Libby Invitational, with nearly every single runner from both teams setting either a personal or season best.  Alyssa Harris secured her first USCAA Runner of the Week award, finishing 16th with a time of 25:54.7, her career best time in the 6k, en route to helping her team secure a 4th place finish.  Thomas Lagarde won USCAA Runner of the Week for the third time this season, also posting a career best time with a 27:22.0 finish in the 8k.

Women's golf secured their best finish of the season, placing third in the Crusader Invitational on Tuesday thanks in no small part to Kimberly Burch.  She picks up her first SCAC Golfer of the Week award, finishing third in the 46-player field, the best among all SCAC players in the field.  She shot round scores of 76 and 77 to finish +9 for the tournament, her third straight tournament in which she has secured a top three finish.
