COACH'S QUOTE
"We have a real shot at winning their first CCC Championship Sunday," head coach Will Feldman said. "Some things will need to fall our way to do so, but we have amazingly reliant and scrappy group of women. They've risen to the occasion every week and have already surpassed my expectations for such a young team. I'm already beyond proud of this group, and bringing some hardware back to campus on Sunday would be a perfect way to cap off a challenging year."
SUFFOLK STANDOUTS
- Grace Dreher is a top contender in the triple jump.
- Sydney Fogg will attempt an extremely difficult double; racing the 1500 to start the day and coming back two hours later in the 5K. Fogg looks to claim two podium finishes (top three) to help the Rams contend for team glory.
- Allison Rodrigues will try to keep her perfect season in all four throwing events going.
- Jocelyn Triscik, who is coming off an injury from a week ago, aims to capture the 400 title and place in the top three in the 800.
- Amanda Walden will look to stay undefeated in the 100 and 200, respectively, and be crowned a CCC individual champion.
- Lauren Wood will lead the way in the long jump with potential to take home the CCC individual title.
SUFFOLK'S SCHEDULE
The CCC Championship concludes the Rams' regular-season slate. Pending regional performances, some Suffolk student-athletes may remain on campus to train for New Englands.
