Augustana University Athletics

Travis Beniak won the individual NCAA Central Region crown while leading the men's cross country team to the first team title since 1991 this past weekend.  Beniak's time of 29:57 on the 10k course earned him the individual title as well as All-Central Region honors.  The senior biology major was also recently named the Central Region athlete of the year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association and will compete with the rest of the Vikings at the NCAA Championships on Nv. 17 in Joplin, Mo.
