Rock Hill, S.C. – Lenoir-Rhyne sophomore Kate Griewisch has been named the South Atlantic Conference Women’s Cross Country Runner Of The Week for the fourth time this year, league officials announced today. The Banner Elk, N.C., native was the top NCAA Division II runner this past Friday at the Charlotte Invitational.
Griewisch finished ninth out of 209 runners after running a personal-best 17:44 on the 5K course. Griewisch also helped the Bears finish 14th out of 23 teams against mostly NCAA Division I competition.
Griewisch earned First-Team All-South Atlantic Conference honors last season after placing second in the league championship and was named the conference freshman of the year. The Avery County High School graduate was also named to the NCAA Division II All-Southeast Region Team.
Lenoir-Rhyne next competes in the Winthrop Fall Classic on Saturday, October 17, in Rock Hill, S.C.
