COLONIA, NJ – Senior Rachel Horner-Richardson won the East Coast Conference (ECC) Runner of the Week for the second consecutive week and freshman Emma Lipa earned a spot on the ECC Weekly Honor Roll.

Horner-Richardson shined over the weekend as the overall top finisher (out of 108 runners) at the annual Hamilton Short Course event hosted by Hamilton College. Horner-Richardson clocked a 4K time of 14:32.4 (5:51/mile) as she pulled away to win by nearly five seconds down the final stretch. The time is a 4K PR and nearly a full minute faster than her previous top 4K time set two years ago at the same event.

Lipa was the fourth finisher for Roberts Wesleyan as the Redhawks raced to the team title. Lipa finished the 4K race in 15:26.7 (6:13/mile).

Roberts Cross County will return to action September 27 after an off week to host the annual Harry F. Anderson Invitation on campus as part of Homecoming Weekend.
