MUSCLE MLK ATHLETE OF THE WEEK

Ben Thorne won the 5,000-metre race walk event at the 2015 NAIA Outdoor Track and Field championships in Gulf Shores, Ala. He led from start to finish, completing the race in 21:37.50, nearly 15 seconds ahead of his nearest rival.

His triumph was the second national title of his career, with the first coming in 2012, and the sixth men's race walk championship in eight years for UBC.

Thorne's efforts helped the Thunderbirds to a joint seventh-place finish at the NAIA meet.
