10.19.2023 | Cross Country

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – After a record-breaking performance in the USC Upstate Invitational, Isabel Richardson has been named the Big South's Co-Freshman Runner of the Week. The league made the announcement on Thursday (Oct. 19).

In her third collegiate race, Richardson broke both the freshman record (17:58) and school record (17:36) to finish seventh in a time of 17:23.9. It was her second-straight Top 10 finish, and she was the top freshman finisher in the 279-runner field.

Richardson shares this week's honors with Brianna Malone from High Point, who finished eighth at the Pre-National Meet with a 6K time of 21:06.7.

This is Richardson's second Freshman of the Week recognition.

Richardson and the Bulldogs return to action on Sunday, Oct. 28, in Salem, Va., as they compete in the Big South Conference Championships.
