Hilton, NY— The Sage Colleges' women's cross country team had a pair of student-athletes honored on Tuesday with the release of the 2019 Empire 8 Women's Cross Country All-Conference Team on Tuesday, while another women's team member and a men's team member were both chosen for the Empire 8 Sportsmanship Team.

Sage's sophomore Kerry Flower (Schenectady, NY/Schalmont) was named to the First Team, a first for the Sage women's cross country team. Sophomore Kristin McAlonen (Burnt Hills, NY/Burnt Hills-Ballston Lake) earned a spot on the Second Team as well, another first with the pair of Gator student-athletes saluted by the league.

At the 2019 Empire 8 Championship, Flower finished with an impressive time of 24:46.8 and finished in 10th place.

McAlonen picked 18th place in 25:37.1 at the 2019 championship and as a rookie finished in 45th place at the league championship.

The Empire 8 Conference emphasizes that "Competing with Honor and Integrity" is an essential component of a student-athlete's experience in conjunction with an institution's educational mission. These honorees have distinguished themselves and consistently exhibit the critical traits as outstanding sportswomen and sportsmen.
