Connelly took over the NEC lead in a distance event for the second consecutive week. The third-year Pioneer won her section in the 5,000m run at Princeton’s Sam Howell Invitational. Connelly clocked in at 17:21.08 to demolish his old personal record by more than 39 seconds. One week before registering her league-leading time in the 5K at Princeton, Connelly snagged the top spot on the NEC performance list in the steeple chase while competing at the San Francisco State Distance Carnival.
