Wesley, Farrington Sweep CCC Awards For Second Straight Week

BEVERLY, Mass. – For the second week in a row, Endicott student-athletes Jules Wesley (Beverly, Mass.) and Emma Farrington (Essex Junction, VT.) have both earned Commonwealth Coast Conference (CCC) weekly honors, as announced by the league office today. Wesley was named the CCC women's cross country Runner of the Week, while Farrington collected Rookie of the week honors, respectively.

At the UNE Invitational last Saturday, the Gulls placed fourth out of 10 teams behind the running of Wesley and Farrington. Wesley won the race with a time of 19:40.4 becoming the first women to win the race since 2007, while Farrington was the first freshmen to finish the race, coming in fifth overall place with a time of 20:07.0 35 seconds faster than the next Freshmen. 

Wesley won the race with a time of 19:40.4 on the 5-kilometer course out of 130 competitors. She also became the first Endicott women's student-athlete to win the UNE Invitational since Kelsey Conn (Batavia, N.Y.) did so in 2007. Meanwhile, Farrington was the first freshmen to finish the race, coming in fifth overall place with a time of 20:07.0 35. Additionally, Farrington was more than 35-seconds faster than the next freshman student-athlete to cross the finish line.
