Each of Hunter and Kravec earn weekly conference honors for the first time in their careers

FORT COLLINS, Colo. – Colorado State seniors Jalen Hunter and Nick Kravec were each honored as Colorado State swept Mountain West Men's Indoor Track & Field Athlete of the Week accolades. The conference announced its first weekly awards of the season on Tuesday.
 
Hunter earned Mountain West Men's Indoor Track Athlete of the Week honors for the first time in his career, while Kravec earned his first career Mountain West Men's Indoor Field Athlete of the Week accolade.
 
This marks the third consecutive indoor season in which CSU has received weekly conference honors following the opening weekend, and the second that a heptathlete has been honored after his indoor season opener (Hunter Price on Dec. 13, 2016).
 
Hunter opened his indoor season with a time of 8.08 (8.12 when adjusted for altitude) in the 60-meter hurdles at the Air Force Holiday Open, a time that has been topped by only nine other athletes in program history. The senior from Denton, Texas currently ranks 17th in the nation in the 60-meter hurdles.
 
Kravec topped the heptathlon field at the Mines Alumni Classic & Multi, racking up 5,507 points (5,548 when converted for track size) to win by over 100 points. The Fort Collins, Colo., native's score was a personal best, and ranks fifth in program history and well as third in the nation this season.

The Colorado State track & field team is away from competition for a month before returning to action at the Potts Indoor Invitational in Boulder, Colo. The meet is set to be held on Jan. 12 and 13.
