CENTERVILLE, Mass. - Coming off a fourth place finish in her first collegiate race, freshman Beth Shenck was tabbed the Division I cross country Co-Rookie of the Week by the Eastern College Athletic Conference, the organization announced on Wednesday, Sept. 10.
Competing in the UB Stampede Invite, Shenck was the third Pitt runner to cross the finish line, completing the 5K course in a time of 18:31.4 Her performance, coupled with four other Panthers runners that finished in the top-6 overall, helped Pitt take first place in its season-opening meet.
