Junior runner Catie Byrd was named InterCon Student-Athlete of the Month for the second month in a row after turning in a spectacular perfomance at the NCAA DII Cross Country Championships.

Byrd collected a 32nd place finish at the national championships to earn USTFCCCA All-American honors. Her finish was also the highest recorded finish in Queens history. 

"Since her arrival on campus Catie has been a wonderful athlete to work with," said Jim Vahrenkamp, director of cross country and track and field. "She provided leadership as an upperclassman, and she was consistent with her effort since the beginning of the season."
