After a tremendous run in the 5000-meter event on Friday night at the Stanford Invitational, the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association named senior distance runner Sam Stabler as the Division I men's National Athlete of the Week.

 

The Queniborough, England, native smashed his personal record by almost 25 seconds, and claimed the school record in the 5K on a mark of 13:30.50. He took the top spot from Samuel Kosgei, who has held it since 2010 on a time of 13:35.75.

 

...

 

By the time the weekend was over, Stabler's time sat atop the nation's leader board in the 5000-meter, and the next eight behind him were all at the same event. His time is more than 47 seconds faster than the next-highest time in the Southland Conference.
