BOSTON, Mass. - Emmanuel freshman Margaret McCaffrey (East Greenwich, R.I.) was named the GNAC Corvias Women's Cross Country Rookie of the Week by the conference office on Monday afternoon. It marks the third time this season that McCaffrey has been honored as the conference's top rookie.
McCaffrey, the reigning GNAC Rookie of the Year, wrapped up her season with a solid performance at the NCAA Division III New England Championship race at Connecticut College. The East Greenwich, R.I. native finished the 6K course in a time of 24:14 and was the top Emmanuel finisher in the field, placing 137th overall in a field of just under 400 runners.
In her first season of collegiate competition, McCaffrey was a standout for Emmanuel in every race. The rookie was the first Saint to cross the finish line in all seven races she ran in and set a new EC rookie record in the 5k with a time of 19:24 at the UMass Dartmouth Invitational on Sept. 19.
