Wissel named Big 12 Runner of the Week

Thursday, September 13, 2007

The Kansas men’s cross country team was ranked fourth in the Midwest Region this week, and one of its lead anchors is getting a little more love.

Colby Wissel, Elm Creek, Neb., senior, was named Big 12 Runner of the Week. Wissel, finished 35 seconds ahead of his closest competitor in Manhattan, Kan., last week. In his last two events, Wissel has placed first with impressive times.

The first time Wissel was named Big 12 Runner of the Week was last fall. This marks the fourth time a Jayhawk runner has been named Runner of the Week, with two of those honors belonging to Wissel.

The men and women’s team next travel to Minneapolis, Minn., on Sept. 29, where Wissel will begin his attempt to qualify for Nationals.
