RICHMOND, Va. – Three Huskies earned CAA cross country post-season awards as announced by the conference today. Freshman Chance Lamberth earned Northeastern's first Rookie of the Year honor while sophomore Dan Romano and junior Brooke Wojeski were named to the CAA All-Academic Team. Lamberth is the third Husky in program history to earn a major post-season award for cross country.

"Chance has had a phenomenal year thus far and has been a reliable force for us in cross country. We believe he will continue to be a force on the track and are thrilled that he has been named Rookie of the Year" said head coach Cathrine Erickson.
 
Lamberth competed in five races during his first season in the Red and Black singlet. Top finishes at the New England Championships, IC4A Championships, and CAA Championships highlighted Lamberth's rookie campaign and propelled the Huskies to two team titles and second place at CAAs. In early October, Lamberth posted a 25:18.03 finish for 18^th place overall at the New England Championships helping the Huskies capture their first team title since 1972. Later that month at CAA Championships, Lamberth clocked 25:45.52 in the 8k for ninth overall and was the top freshman finisher in the race. Lamberth, as well as Paul Duffey and Dan Romano earned All-CAA honors for their performances at the championship. To close out the season, Lamberth was the top CAA freshman to finish at the NCAA Northeast Regionals and contributed to Northeastern's second straight IC4A team title with a 26:58 8k run.
 
In addition to Lamberth's Rookie of the Year honor, sophomore Dan Romano and junior Brooke Wojeski were named to the CAA All-Academic team for their performance in the classroom.
