Boulder-- Golfer Patrick Grady (senior) and volleyball defensive specialist Callie Webster (senior), were named University of Colorado Athletes of the Week for the week of October 27 to November 2. This is the first honor of the year for both athletes, and the first of Webster's career while Grady now has three career honors.
Grady, a Broomfield, Colo. (Broomfield) native, finished his fall season by tying for runner-up honors in New Mexico State's Herb Wimberly Intercollegiate with at 69-69-71:209 scorecard (four-under par), one stroke behind medalist Travis Reid of the host New Mexico State. Grady was tied for the lead after the first two rounds, and then shot an even par 71 for the third round, on the 7,074-yard New Mexico State Golf Course. Grady was trying to win his second tournament of the fall to go along with his medalist finish in last months Ron Moore Invitational, which was his first collegiate victory. Colorado finished ninth out of 18 teams in the meet, which wrapped up the fall schedule.
Webster, a Mercer Island, Wash. (Mercer Island/New Hampshire) native, recorded 16 digs in the 3-1 upset victory over No. 2 and previously undefeated Nebraska a the Coors Event and Conference Center in Boulder. She was tied along with teammate Alex Buth, who also recorded 16 digs. Webster also served up a pair of aces. She averaged 4.00 dps. The Buffs win over the Huskers was just their seventh win in the all-time series (NU has won 45 times). CU is just one of two programs to beat Nebraska in the last eight years, Texas being the other. Webster had 11 digs in the win two years ago, which went five sets.
Others nominated for this week's award were George Hypolite (football), Jordan Kyle (men's cross country) and Emily Hanenburg (women's cross country).
