Senior Maura Frauenhofer earned MAAC Female
Cross Country Runner of the Week honors after coming in second place with a
time of 21:39 during the 6K Brooks/Paul Short Run in Bethlehem, Pa. on Friday
afternoon.
Frauenhofer
has been one of the Golden Griffin's most impressive runners in 2010 as she has
been the top finisher for the women's team in three of the team's four races.
Frauenhofer finished the Brooks/Paul Short Run with a time of 21:39, which was
36 seconds off the pace of the leader. She helped lead the team to a fourth
place finish at Lehigh University, which is a huge improvement from 2008 when
they placed 38th.
This
honor marks the second time in 2010 the MAAC has honored Frauenhofer for her
efforts as she was named MAAC Female Cross Country Runner of the Week on Sept.
7, after her performance at the Duquesne Duals where she placed fifth with a
time of 18:26.
Both
cross country teams will return to action on Saturday Oct. 16 when they head to
Albany, N.Y. to compete at the UAlbany Invitational.
