MINNEAPOLIS – Graduate student Noah Kohut-Jackson was named the Big Ten Men's Cross Country Athlete of the Week, the conference office announced Wednesday. The Ames, Iowa, native won Minnesota's season opening Oz Memorial on August 30.
Kohut-Jackson's victory at the Oz Memorial was his first cross country win of his career. In a personal best time of 15:56.2, Kohut-Jackson won the 5K event at Les Bolstad Golf Course in Falcon Heights and helped the Gophers claim the team win at home to open the 2024 campaign.
The honor for Minnesota is the first Big Ten Men's Cross Country Athlete of the Week since Alec Basten earned the distinction in 2019 after he set the Minnesota eight-kilometer record of 23:26.7 at the Paul Short Run in Bethlehem, Pa.
Minnesota will take three weeks to prepare for the 38th Roy Griak Invitational that is scheduled for September 20, at the Les Bolstad Golf Course. General admission tickets are on sale now at GopherSports.com (tickets will also be available at the gate on race day).
