WEST POINT, N.Y. – For the third time this year, Army West Point junior Roman Ollar of men's cross country has been named AWPAA Athlete of the Week.

Ollar placed third at the NCAA Northeast Regional in Buffalo, N.Y., qualifying him for the NCAA National Championships in Madison, Wis., on Saturday, November 17.

The West Linn, Ore., native's third place finish is the best by an Army runner in the history of the regional format. He helped lead the Black Knights to the program's best score in the history of the regional race.

This marks the second year in a row that Army West Point will be represented at the NCAA Championships, a feat the program hasn't accomplished since 1993-94.
