Sara Amato, of N Attleboro, Named to the Assumption College Women's Cross Country Team

2017 Sep 20

The Assumption College Department of Athletics has announced that Sara Amato, of N Attleboro, has earned a coveted spot on the 2017 Assumption College Women's Cross Country team. Amato, Class of 2019, is competing during the Greyhounds' fall season, which began with the Shacklette Invitational at Saint Anselm College on September 2.

"After last year's NCAA berth, the women who comprise the Greyhounds Cross Country Team are cognizant of the time and effort required to reach their goals," said Trent Baltzell, who was promoted to head coach of the cross country and track and field teams after serving as an assistant in the program for the last two years. "With many juniors and seniors on the team providing leadership for the younger runners, the team benefits from strong leadership and athletes who are committed to their roles as student-athletes."

Last season, the Women's Cross Country team earned a second-place finish at the Northast10 Championships and made the program's first-ever NCAA National Championships appearance, at which they placed 27th. Coming off the program's most successful season to date, the team was ranked second in the NE10 Pre-Championship Poll.
