Colorado sophomores Laura Tremblay and Joe Bosshard have earned Big 12 Cross Country Runner of the Week honors. Tremblay captures back-to-back weekly accolades, as she claimed the honors on Oct. 5. Bosshard earns the second conference honor of his career, as he was named Big 12 Runner of the Week on Oct. 13 last season.
