MILWAUKEE, Wis. (naccsports.org) --- Concordia University Wisconsin juniors Emma Ahrens (Stephens City, Va.) and Isaiah Lubner (Campbellsport, Wis.) have been named Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference (NACC) Cross Country Student-Athletes of the Week for the week of Oct. 27-Nov. 2, 2025, as selected by the league's athletics communications professionals.

This marks the fourth time this season that Ahrens and Lubner have swept NACC weekly honors.

Men --- Isaiah Lubner, Jr., Concordia University Wisconsin
Lubner, a junior, won the men's individual title at the 2025 NACC Cross Country Championships. After running the first half of the race in a tightly-knit group at the head of the field, he broke out over the final four kilometers after forming a two-man breakaway with Benedictine's Karan Shetty. Lubner and Shetty went through the splits at 5K, 6K, and 7K virtually side-by-side, building a 10-second gap to the rest of the field headed to the final kilometer. Lubner pulled away down the stretch, eventually stopping the clock in 25:35.9 - over six seconds clear of Shetty and 20 seconds better than anyone else in the field.

Women --- Emma Ahrens, Jr., Concordia University Wisconsin
Ahrens, a junior, led virtually from wire-to-wire en route to the women's individual title at the 2025 NACC Cross Country Championships. Ahrens (22:35.7) was matched by Aurora's N'Dya Fields over the first kilometer but broke out over the next two kilometers, building a 22-second lead by the 3-kilometer mark. She continued to build the lead, eventually winning by a full minute over teammate Melanie Arvis (23:36.0).
