Luis Morales and Kristen Borriello were named the Spartan Athletes of the Month for October.
Kristen Borriello, Women's Cross Country:
Borriello was the top finisher for her team in two out of three races for the Lady Spartans during October. A 5th overall finish (18:41.0) at the NJIT Highlander Cross Country Challenge in Newark, NJ, helped guide her and her teammates to a first place team finish.
The sophomore from Montgomery, NY was named the East Coast Conference Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week on October 13th, after posting a time of 24:25.6, which was good for a 4th overall finish in the 8th Annual Jack Saint Clair Memorial Cross Country Championship in Philadelphia, PA. The team took home a second place team finish with Kristen's help.
Borriello was tabbed as a First Team All-Conference selection at the East Coast Conference Championships when she finished 5th overall (18:14.0) in the race and her team finished 3rd at the meet hosted by LIU Post.
Kristen's stellar performances each week have helped the Lady Spartans climb the ladder in the East Region and garner a 4th overall ranking.
