St. Thomas Aquinas College Cross Country runner Abagaile Kimbrell was named a USTFCCCA All-East Region honoree on Monday afternoon by the coaches association.
A total of 200 men from 81 different programs and 200 women from 94 different programs earned the distinction of All-Region by virtue of a top-25 finish at one of the eight regional sites this past weekend. Only athletes from USTFCCCA member programs are eligible for this honor.
Kimbrell, a graduate student from Monroe, N.Y., had an exceptional fall campaign, finishing in the top 5 in five of seven events competed in, with first place finishes at the Bard College Fred Pavlich Invitational (23.48.6) on September 18 and the St. Joseph's College Golden Eagle Invitational (18:41.0) back on October 10.
During 2021 fall season, Kimbrell was named the ECC Women's Cross Country Runner of the week on three separate occasions (September 20, October 4 & October 12) and most recently received First Team All-Conference accolades at the East Coast Conference Cross Country Championships on October 23.
