Senior All-American Stephanie Price picked up her second Big Ten Runner of the Week award in 2011. Price finished in fifth place at the 26^th Roy Griak Invitational, to help her No. 21 Golden Gophers to a fifth place team finish.

The Mankato, Minn., native covered the 6,000-meter course in 20:51. This was Price’s second straight top-five finish at the Griak. She finished in second a year ago.

It is now the fourth time in her Gopher career that she has picked up this honor. Price recently won the award after winning the Oz Memorial early this month.
