Eaton placed third out of 151 participants with a 19:57 performance in the 5K University of New England Invitational on Saturday. The sub-20 time was the third of her career and also ranks as her third-fastest effort in a 5K event. She placed 10th with a 20:08 performance in the UNE Invitational a year ago.
For Eaton, a three-time All-GNAC honoree and two-time Rookie of the Week award recipient, the Runner of the Week honor is just the second of her esteemed career.
Saint Joseph’s will compete in the UMass.-Dartmouth Invitational this Saturday.
