COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. - Air Force senior Calvin Glass and San Diego State sophomore Lindsay Barajas have been selected as the Mountain West Conference men's and women's cross country athletes of the week, respectively.

Glass receives the final 2007 season award after finishing second at the Air Force Open on Oct. 20 in Colorado Springs, Colo. Glass, an Antelope, Calif., native, was the top Air Force finisher in the team's regular season finale, posting a time of 26:20:71. His time was nine seconds faster than the fourth-place finisher and 16 seconds faster than the next collegiate runner on the 8K North Monument Valley Park course. This marks Glass' first career Athlete of the Week honor.

Barajas, hailing from Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., led the Aztecs at the Cougar 5K Challenge on Oct. 20, clocking a time of 19:08. Barajas' time in San Marcos, Calif., is a personal best and was nearly 33 seconds better than her previous 5K time accomplished at the UC Riverside Invitational this season. Overall, she finished 15th, marking her best-ever finish and the top individual finish in a 5K among all Aztecs this season. Her effort on the California State University - San Marcos campus course was also San Diego State's fourth-best 5K time of 2007.
