NMSU’s Thomas Croshaw named CUSA Male Athlete of the Week

DALLAS, Texas - Following a strong showing in College Station, Thomas Croshaw has been named the CUSA Male Athlete of the Week, announced on Tuesday.

Croshaw led the Aggies at the Arturo Barrios Invitational – one of the largest and most prestigious meets in the country – finishing ninth with a time of 23:12.6.

This became a new personal best for the senior from Albuquerque, competing in just his second meet of the season.

At the Cowboy Jamboree, he paced NM State and crossed the line 11^th with a time of 23:56.2 (8k). 

Along with the personal best, he also made school history, setting a new record for the fastest time to complete an 8k. 

The Volcano Vista graduate becomes the first Aggie to earn CUSA Athlete of the Week honors for cross country since Oct. 1, 2024, when Croshaw himself earned the honor as a sophomore, following a eighth place finish at the Dave Murray Invite (23:31.6; 8k).
