BETHLEHEM, Pa. — After her first collegiate meet, freshman Caroline Collins was named Patriot League Rookie of the Week for her finish at the UMass Dartmouth Invitational last Saturday, Sept. 21.

Collins finished the 5K course in 17:42.8 to take fifth overall and was the top finisher for the Terriers, who took eighth of 45 programs at the meet with 163 team points.

The Stow, Massachusetts native was part of a big weekend for the Terriers, as male runners Alex Brown and James American Horse also picked up weekly honors. Collins is the first woman to win the award this year and the first to win it since Oct. 3, 2023, when Molly Kiley was named Patriot League Rookie of the Week.

Next up for Collins and the rest of the Terriers is the Paul Short Run at Lehigh on Saturday, Oct. 5.
