PRINCETON, N.J. (April 21, 2017) – Two senior members of the Stonehill College women's track and field team were in action this evening at the Larry Ellis Invitational, hosted by Princeton University at Weaver Stadium.
Senior Nicole Borofski (Plymouth, Massachusetts/Plymouth North) earned her second-straight automatic bid to the NCAA Championships next month in the 3000-meter steeplechase.
