Burnsville, MN – For the second time this season and the third time in her career, University of Mary All-American Melissa Agnew earned Northern Sun Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week after her tremendous performance at the prestigious Roy Griak Invitational.
 
A senior from Onamia, MN, Agnew claimed second overall and first among attached runners in the Maroon II (Division II) competition at Griak. She traversed the course in a sparkling 22:03.8, leading the 7^th-ranked Marauders to fourth place out of 38 teams. Her closest conference competition came from teammate Dakota Wolf, who claimed fourth in 22:23.3.
 
The only runner to finish ahead of Agnew was former Iowa State University runner Dani Stacx, who won the top division race a year ago. 
 
This was the second time Agnew and the Marauders have competed this season. She won the NSIC honor earlier for her efforts in the Wiley Wilson Memorial.
 
U-Mary is next in action at the Ron Pynn Invitational on October 13.
