PRINCETON, N.J. (April 22, 2016) – Two members of the Stonehill College women's track & field team were in action this evening at the Larry Ellis Invitational, hosted by Princeton University, at Weaver Stadium tonight.
Junior All-American Nicole Borofski (Plymouth, Massachusetts/Plymouth North) earned an automatic bid to the NCAA Championships next month in the 3000-meter steeplechase, breaking her previous program record with a time of 10:21.40. Borofski finished third among collegiate runners behind two Ivy League and a Canadian college runner and eighth overall, eclipsing the previous program record of 10:32.99 she set last year at the New England Outdoor Championships.

Junior All-American Aisha McAdams (North Kingston, Rhode Island/North Kingston) provisionally qualified for next month's NCAA Outdoor Championships in the 1500-meter run with a time of 4:33.73, finishing tenth in her heat and 28th overall out of 79 participants. McAdams' effort, which was just 1.62 second slower than her own program record time of 4:32.11, currently ranks in the top 25 in the country in the event.
The rest of the Stonehill women's track & field team will be in action Sunday at the Holy Cross Invitational, hosted by the College of the Holy Cross in Worcester, Massachusetts.
