Ithaca College Athletics

On Monday afternoon, the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced their weekly National Athletes of the Week for all NCAA Divisions, and Ithaca College senior Parley Hannan of the women's cross country program was named the top DIII runner in the country after her performance on October 12. She also earned her third Liberty League Performer of the Week honor this season. 

Hannan bested the field of 220 runners last weekend with a dominant time of 22:08.9, which was nearly 30 seconds faster than the runner-up – 22.37.0. She led by one second at the 1K split, pushed that to 10 seconds by the two-mile split and eventually won by nearly 29 seconds in a time of 22:08.9 in the field of 220 runners. Hannan has finished within the top three individually in four races this season.
