COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. – Redshirt senior Lily Tomasula-Martin was named Mountain West's Cross Country Athlete of the Week for her performance in last Thursday's Bill Dellinger Invitational, announced Tuesday by the league office.

Tomasula-Martin, of Estes Park, Colo., placed ninth out of 166 runners with a time of 20:20.5 in the 6,000-meter race. Teamwise, she led the then No. 25-ranked Rams to a second-place finish above four higher-ranked teams in the stacked Oregon race that featured a total of nine ranked or receiving-votes teams. With the performance, the Rams jumped three spots to No. 22 in USTFCCCA's Week 3 poll that also was released Tuesday, marking the highest the Ram women have been since 2008.

At the Bill Dellinger Invite, three Rams finished in the top-20 with the final two scorers placing 29th and 32nd to round out the Colorado State points. For Tomasula-Martin, it is her second weekly conference honor in her career.

The award marks the second of the season for the Rams as Claudia Burgess received the honor after the season opener.

Next, the Rams will run in the UCCS Open, hosted by UC-Colorado Springs, on Oct. 8th in Colorado Springs, Colo.
