MADISON, S.D. -- For the ninth time in her stellar BU career, junior All-American Madison Nelson has garnered North Star Athletic Association Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week honors for her performance in the season-opening Augustana Twilight Meet at Yankton Trails Park in Sioux Falls, S.D. 

Nelson crossed the finish line in 19:09.6, good for 55th place overall. She finished fourth among NAIA entries. Nebraska-Lincoln put four of their scorers in the top ten to take home the women's title. The meet featured 350 runners across all NCAA divisions as well as the NAIA and JUCO. The course consisted of a lighted one-mile loop that the runners covered three times.  

The Bruins will train for two weeks and then travel to Lincoln, Neb., on September 16 for the Greeno/Dirksen Invite hosted by Nebraska and Nebraska Wesleyan. It will once again feature athletes from all divisions.
