COLUMBUS, Ohio - Jeff See, a junior on the Ohio State cross country team, was named the co-Big Ten runner of the week Tuesday and shared the award with Penn State's Brian Fuller.

See, from Middletown, Ohio, led the Buckeyes to the team title at the Short Course Open Friday on the campus of Kent State as he took home the individual winning time of 15:14.5. It is a collegiate career best mark for See at on a 5-kilometer course.

"Jeff has really jumped up to another level," Robert Gary, Ohio State head coach, said. "After last spring and some great 1,500-meter and mile races and just missing the finals at USA's, he really is running with a great deal more confidence."

The award rounds out a solid summer for See as he became the first Buckeye to break the four minute mark in the mile, competing unattached June 2 during his redshirt season at the Music City Distance Classic.

The award is the first career runner of the week honor for See and the Buckeyes' first R.O.W. since Alex Bailey took home the honor Oct. 10, 2006, following the All-Ohio Championships. See is the eighth Big Ten R.O.W. the Buckeyes have claimed in the over the past four seasons - more than any other Big Ten team in that span.

Ohio State will take this week off and then head to Marysville, Tenn., for the Tennessee Twilight Invitational Sept. 14.
