North Attleboro, Mass. - For the first time this season, graduate student Kathleen Healy has earned the honor of Northeast 10 Runner of the Week, as revealed by the conference office on Tuesday. 

Healy won the Adelphi Short Course Showdown in commanding fashion, clocking in at 18:08.7 (5K) - which was 18 seconds faster than the next finisher. She topped a field that featured regional and Division I competitors, averaging 5:50.4 per mile. Her top finish helped the Panthers take second overall at the meet. 

The Panthers are now preparing for the NE10 Championship meet, which will take place on their home course on Saturday, Nov. 7. The men's 8K will kick off at 11:00 a.m. with the women's 6K race to follow at 12:15 p.m. at Bethpage Polo at the Park. This marks the third time that the Adelphi harriers will race at home thus far, as they will also see the course one more time when the Brown and Gold host the regional meet on Nov. 21.
