Gill Collects Third 'Freshman of the Year' Honor 

Easton, Mass. - Kevin Gill (Brockton, Mass./Brockton) finished his record season with more hardware than most athletes earn in a lifetime.  Gill, a freshman, became Stonehill College's first ever student to win the Northeast-10 Conference's Freshman of the Year award three times in a single year.  A three sport athlete, Gill received the Conference's prestigious award for Men's Cross Country, Men's Indoor Track and Field and earlier this month for Men's Outdoor Track and Field.  

Gill's path to three Freshman of the Year honors is littered with broken records and first-year milestones.  Most recently Gill, who's older brother Keith also runs for the Skyhawks, broke his sibling's record in the 1500 Meter Run with a time of 3:50.17.  Gill's record-setting run at the Princeton Invitational (4/18) not only rewrote the College's history, the freshman earned his spot in an unprecedented third consecutive NCAA Championship, which will be held on May 22nd at Chico, Calif. 

Gill also qualified for the USA Juniors - an event geared toward the top runners under 19 years old.  The event will be held June 21st at Columbus, Ohio. 

As a team, the Skyhawks finished third at the Northeast-10 Conference Outdoor Championship.  At the New England Championships, an event which hosts Division I, II, and III teams, the Skyhawks finished eighth out of over 60 teams.
