Each week, the Bowling Green State University Athletic Department names the Jet's Pizza Athletes of the Week, as selected by the athletic communications department based on their athletic performances from the previous week. This week's winners are men's cross country runner Noah Schaub and women's cross country runner Elena Lancioni.

Male Athlete of the Week
Noah Schaub, a junior from Uniontown, Ohio, won the Mel Brodt Invitational with a time of 15:30.1, demolishing his previous record time of 15:43.9. Last season, at the same meet he just missed first, finishing 3.3 seconds behind the leader. This year, he proved he deserved first, running away with the win by exactly five seconds.

Female Athlete of the Week
Elena Lancioni, a senior from La Porte, Ind., was the Falcons' first finisher Friday night at the Mel Brodt Invitational. Crossing the finish at the 18:21.1 mark, it was her fastest finish in a season-opener in her four years at BG.
