MIDDLETOWN, Ohio -- Point Park (Pa.) University senior Anna Shields earned her fourth River States Conference Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week honor with her performance from Sept. 24-30 at the Louisville Sports Commission Classic this past week.
Shields ran the gold race made up mainly of NCAA Division I runners, and she placed ninth overall with a time of 17:03 in the 5K. It was just a few seconds off her school record, and she finished behind only DI competitors.
