UC Davis saw stellar efforts from its men's and women's teams at the Stanford Invitational last weekend, resulting in Big West Men's and Women's Athlete of the Week honors for Jon Peterson and Krista Drechsler, respectively.
Peterson, a junior from Clovis, Calif., led the Aggie men with a 14th place finish after completing the 8K course in 24:00. His time and finish are more impressive when considering he had to stop mid-race in order to put his shoe back on.
Drechsler, a junior from Santa Barbara, Calif., also ran an solid race as she finished the 6K event in 20:49, good for sixth place. She was the lone runner from a Big West school to finish in the top 10.
