MADISON, Wis. – After winning the individual title at the Illinois Open while also leading the Badgers to the team crown, Wisconsin women's cross country senior Peyton Sippy has been named the Big Ten Women's Cross Country Athlete of the Week, the conference announced on Wednesday.

A native of Janesville, Sippy crossed the 5K course on Friday in Champaign 17 minutes, 28.1 seconds and was one of four Badgers to finish in the top-five at the team's final tuneup before postseason competition.
