SEASON PREVIEW
SCSU Women's Country was selected to finish 15th in the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) Preseason Coaches' Polls, as announced by the league office on August 19. Additionally, junior Abbygail Nunez (South St. Paul, Minn.) was named the Huskies preseason 'Athlete to Watch' by the NSIC. The team raced to a 16th place finish at last year's conference championship meet.
"The team this year is very exciting for my staff," said fourth-year head coach Gabrielle Brown. "We have a healthy mix of both returners who will carry on the culture that has already been established. Along with that, we are adding a very talented group of first-years that will enhance our program tremendously."
Nunez looks to build off the momentum she built during the indoor and outdoor track & field seasons in which she set new personal bests in the 600 meters (indoor), 800 meters (outdoor), mile (indoor), 1,500 meters (outdoor) and 3,000 steeplechase (outdoor).
"We are very excited to see what Abby can do on the course this season," said Brown. "Coming off two years of collegiate experience now, we are excited to see how she can translate that experience into times throughout the year. Abby will also be taking a leadership role on the team, which will help her as she heads toward a breakout season on the course."
