Solinsky paced the adidas Notre Dame Invitational field of 200 with a winning 8K time of 23:21.  The Wisconsin junior has accumulated many top 10 finishes during his three years with the Badgers, but last weekend's race marked his first collegiate win.  Solinsky helped his then top-ranked Badgers to a fifth-place finish in a field of 25 squads, which included three Big Ten teams.

This is Solinsky's first career Runner of the Week award.
