ARMSTRONG PICKED GNAC RUNNER OF THE WEEK

Sept. 15, 2009

Emmanuel College sophomore Stephen Armstrong was named the Great Northeast Athletic Conference Men's Cross Country Runner of the Week for the week ending on September 12, 2009. Armstrong's honor came after he led the Saints to a third place finish in Massachusetts Maritime's Travis Fuller Invitational Meet on Saturday morning (9/12). Armstrong's individual 3rd place finish out of the field of 66 runners helped the Saints to place 1st among all of the competing GNAC teams. Running in his second meet of the 2009 season, Armstrong ran the 5-mile course in 28:42. As a rookie, Armstrong received this same honor after finishing 5th overall at the Travis Fuller meet. Armstrong and his team will return to action on Saturday, September 26th, competing in the Codfish Bowl at Franklin Park.
