Rochester, NY— For the second straight week, Sage's sophomore Kerry Flower (Schenectady, NY/Schalmont) was honored as the Empire 8 Female Cross Country Runner of the Week.

This past Saturday, competing in the Stephen E. Warde Invitational at SUNY-Cobleskill,  Flower picked up her first individual crown of the 2019 season as she won the women's championship.

Flower won the women's 6 k race with her time of 23:51.15 in a field of 90 runners. She helped Sage's women's team to the team championship as Sage posted a score of 30 in a field of 10 teams. The Gators bested Mt. St. Mary College, which took second with 52 points and the host SUNY-Cobleskill which finished in third with 54 points.

One week prior, in the first meet of the year, she posted a time of 11:37.1 to finish in third place in a field of 40 competitors at the Vassar Short Course meet.

Sage's cross country teams will be back in action on September 14 competing in the Oneonta State Invitational.
