SIOUX FALLS – South Dakota State’s Gabe Peters was named Summit League Men’s Cross Country Athlete of the Week after his performance at the Woody Greeno Invitational.

The sophomore from Worthing led the team to a fourth-place finish in Lincoln, Neb., on a hot and humid Saturday morning.

Peters placed eighth individually with a personal-best 8K time of 25 minutes, 12.9 seconds. He was the first non-Big 10 student-athlete to cross the finish line.
