MWC Harriers of the Week BYU's Rohatinsky and Turner honored.
Oct. 6, 2004 COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - BYU sophomore Josh Rohatinsky and senior Laura Turner have been selected as the Mountain West Conference men's and women's cross country athletes of the week, respectively. Rohatinsky, a Provo, Utah, native, brought home the individual crown at the Notre Dame Invitational last week in South Bend, Ind. In his first 8K race in two years, he clocked in a career-best 23:40, leading the 14th-ranked Cougars to a fifth place finish overall in the blue division of the invitational. The race featured No. 2 Stanford, No. 9 Notre Dame, No. 10 Butler and No. 18 Florida State, among other top-25 squads. Rohatinsky's time is also an MWC-best for 8k's this season. Turner, from Clifton, Va., crossed the finish line fourth overall (out of 154 runners) at the Great American Cross Country Festival in Cary, N.C. Her time of 17:04.55 in the 6K is a personal and conference season-best, as No. 17 BYU finished fourth overall in the 20-team field.
