Huskies Prepare For CAA Championships

MECHANICSVILLE, Va. — The Northeastern men's and women's cross country teams are headed to Virginia for the CAA Championships meet Friday, Oct. 27 at Pole Green Park. The championships feature 6K run for the women's team beginning at 10 a.m. and an 8K run for the men's team at 11 a.m.

THREE THINGS TO KNOW:

  1. RUNNERS OF THE WEEK: Senior Abigail Hassman and junior Benjamin Godish earned CAA Women's Runner of the Week and CAA Men's Runner of the Week, respectively, after their performances at the IC4A/ECAC Championships at Van Cortlandt Park on Oct. 13. Hassman broke her own school record in the 6K with a time of 20:39.1 while Godish placed first in the 8K at 23:55.7.
  2. LAST YEAR AT THE CHAMPIONSHIPS: Hassman made Northeastern history by becoming the first runner to win the women's individual CAA title at the 2022 CAA Championships, running a 21:12.70 in the 6K and taking the top spot. Godish finished second at the 2022 CAA Championships at 24:10.90 in the 8K, making it a season-best time for the junior. Hassman was followed by senior Tessa McClain who placed sixth with a time of 21:47.90 on the women's side and Godish by Matthew Schaefer who secured an eighth-place finish with a time of 24:57.50, while Patrick Cullen came in 11th at 25:15.50. 
  3. THROUGH THE YEARS: The men won their first CAA championship in program history in March 2021 and both the men's and women's teams placed second overall last year with average times of 24:48.70 and 21:51.10, respectively. The 2022 CAA Championships saw four All-CAA members emerge on both teams as a result of their performances, with Hassman, McClain, Azza Borovicka-Swanson and Ava Duggan representing the women, and Alexander Korczynski, Godish, Schaefer, and Cullen on the men's side
