Frog named C-USA Cross Country Athlete of Week

TCU freshman Alayne Thompson has been named the Conference USA Female Cross Country Athlete of the Week. Thompson won her first collegiate title last weekend as she claimed individual honors at the Sam Houston State Invitational. She is the second TCU cross country runner to earn league athlete of the week honors this season.

Thompson ran the 5K course in a time of 19:06 to lead the Frogs to a second-place in the seven-team event. Thompson, who placed third in the North Texas season opener, was one of three Frogs to finish in the top-five at the Sam Houston Invitational.
