Teammate Alexandra Toth Earns A Spot On This Week's CACC Honor Roll For the Second Time This Year
New Haven, Conn.-University of Bridgeport freshman Emily Chase (Wallingford, Conn.) has been selected as the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Women's Cross Country Rookie of the Week for her fine performance at last Friday's Adelphi University Short Course Event held at the Bethpage Polo Grounds on Long Island.
In her first collegiate race, Emily turned in an impressive time of 22:16.30 over the 5K course, which put her in the 39th spot.
Teammate Alexandra Toth (Sandy Hook, Conn.) earned a spot on the CACC's Honor Roll for the second time this season as she raced to a career personal-best time by over one minute of 21:08.20 on the same course helping the Purple Knights to an eighth place finish as a team in the 19-team event.
This Sunday, the UB cross country teams will head to Philadelphia, Pennsylvania for the 2022 CACC Conference Championship Meet hosted by Thomas Jefferson University.
