In the men’s competition, along with fourth place as a team, two Judges, Chris Brown ’12 and Marc Boutin ’12, earned All-University Athletic Association honors at the UAA championships in Chicago. Brown earned second-team honors with his ninth overall time of 26:00.05 in the 8K race, about 10 seconds shy of seventh place and first-team honors. Compared to last year he improved his placement by 13 spots with a time improved by more than 20 seconds. Boultin came in 14th to claim the final All-UAA honors, beating out the 15th place runner by less than two seconds with a time of 26:20.20. Boultin’s honors outdid his previous best, his rookie placement of 19th place that earned him Rookie of the Year honors in 2008.

In the women’s events the Judges earned seventh place on the lead of Kate Warwick ’12 who finished the 6K course in 23:22.82 for 17th place. She was 15 seconds shy of all-conference honors. While missing honors, its worth noting that she improved her time by 20 seconds and placement by 20 spots compared to last year.
Second among the Judges was Miriam Stulin ’15, finishing 31st with a time of 23:55.86. It was her first time running the 6K in college and she was eighth among rookies.
