For the second consecutive week University of Colorado at Colorado Springs runner Shannon Payne was chosen as the Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference/Boulder Running Company women's cross country runner of the week, the conference announced Wednesday.
The junior from Franktown finished Saturday's 6-kikilometer Lobo Invitational in Albuquerque with a time of 22 minutes, 7 seconds to finish fourth. She defeated 25 Division I runners and was only seven seconds behind race winner Meredeth Snow of Texas A&M. Payne posted the same time as the second and third place finishers, both from New Mexico.
Payne has now won a UCCS-record five RMAC runner of the week honors in her career.
