St. John Fisher University Athletics

St. John Fisher College’s Anna Phillips (Avon/Avon) of the women’s cross country team  has been named the College’s Female Athlete of the Week for the week ending September 2, 2013.

In the season-opening race at the 2013 Houghton College Short Course Invitational, Phillips was the top finisher for Fisher, finishing in fourth place, to help guide the Cardinals to a first-place finish. Phillips finished the 3,200 meter race  in a time of 12:41:33.

The Cardinals had a strong outing from their freshman class, with four of the teams six runners placing in the top 11. Fisher finished the race with 31 points, followed by East-Avenue  rival Nazareth College’s 141 points, and Houghton College’s 60 points.

Fisher returns to the course on Saturday at the Don Masterson Invite hosted by SUNY Oswego.
