For the second time this season, Butler's William Zegarski has been named the BIG EAST Men's Cross Country Athlete of the Week. The conference office made the announcement Tuesday, Oct. 13.
 
Zegarski turned in another impressive performance against an elite field Friday morning at the Nuttycombe Invitational hosted by Wisconsin. The graduate student placed 19^th overall, completing the 8k Thomas Zimmer Championship Course in a time of 23:02.5. The field included 21 ranked teams, including the Bulldogs.
 
Zegarski was also recognized by the conference following Butler's Sept. 19 showing at the John McNichols Invitational. The Butler men have competed in three meets so far this season and have earned the BIG EAST weekly honor after each one (Kyle Grove was selected following the Spartan Invitational Sept. 11).
 
Friday's meet served as the final competition for the Butler men prior to the BIG EAST Championships Oct. 30 in Virginia.
