Rafter continues to dominate the NEC’s distance events. In her first time running of the 3000m this season, the graduate student tore up the track at the Boston University Thomas Terrier Classic with a time of 9:06.82. In addition to propelling her way to the top of the conference rankings by more than 38 seconds, Rafter also turned in the 14th-best time in the nation. With this weekend’s performance, Rafter ranks on top of the NEC in three events: the mile, 3,000m and 5,000m races. The Danielson, CT native now has five NEC weekly awards to her name, marking the most in both men’s and women’s track and field his season.
