Westfield State freshman Amy O'Sullivan (Greenfield, Mass.) made a strong impression in her collegiate debut, earning the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference Runner of the Week and Rookie of the Week awards for the week ending on September 9.

O'Sullivan placed fourth at the Trinity Bantam Invitational cross country meet at Wickham Park in Manchester, Conn., finishing with a time of 20:18.6 on the 5-kilometer course.

Her efforts helped the Owls take third place as a team at the meet.

O'Sullivan and the Owls will be back in competition next Saturday, racing at the UMass Dartmouth Invitational meet.
