Hollins University

Elizabeth Lowry of the cross country team is the Hollins Student-Athlete of the Week. Last Saturday, the Hollins cross country team traveled to Salem to compete at the Roanoke XC Invite, which was doubling as the NCAA South Region Preview meet. Lowry posted a final time of 26:26.7, the best 6K time of her inaugural season in the Green and Gold. The first-year's previous best was 28:59.8, earlier this fall in Winchester (Va.). The Maryland native improved over two and a half minutes on the very course that the NCAA Regionals will be contested in mid-November, finishing in the top half of the over 200-runner field.
