MOSCOW, Idaho – It's a track and field sweep, with Ben Ayesu-Attah and Kinsey Gomez taking home Vandal Athlete of the Week honors after tremendous performances in Southern California over the weekend.

Gomez, a senior from Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, ran the fourth fastest 1500-meter time in program history at 4:22.10 over the weekend, a four-second personal-best.
