STANFORD, Calif. - Senior Christina DeRosa (Sound Beach, N.Y.) shattered the UMass record in the 10K at the Stanford Invitational this past weekend. DeRosa placed third in her section with a time of 34:26.95 to post a provisional NCAA qualifying time. In 1995, Kelly Liljeblad set the school record with a time of 35:10.97. "I am so proud of Christina," said Coach Julie LaFreniere. "She did a fantastic job this weekend."
DeRosa is coming off an impressive 2008 indoor season. In mid-February, DeRosa ranked nationally in the 5K after placing second at the Atlantic 10 Championships with a time of 16:49.99. Two weeks later, DeRosa improved her time at the ECAC Championships to end the season with the fastest time (16:41.71) at UMass.
DeRosa also holds the fourth fasted time at UMass in the 5K with a time of 17:16.46.
DeRosa and the Minutewomen will return to action this Saturday when UMass hosts the UMass Invitational at the Track and Field Facility. The meet is scheduled for 11:30 AM.
