BISMARCK, N.D. -- For the 10th time in her BU career and the second time this season, junior All-American Madison Nelson has been named the North Star Athletic Association Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week for her performance at the Greeno/Dirksen Invitational in Lincoln, Neb.
Nelson was the eighth NAIA finisher in the Green/Dirksen Invitational last Saturday at Mahoney Park Golf Course.
