BRIDGEWATER, Mass. -- Bridgewater State University freshman Olivia Pendleton has been selected as the Massachusetts State Collegiate Athletic Conference (MASCAC) Women's Cross Country Rookie of the Week.

Pendleton finished 86th out of a field of 192 runners this past weekend at the season-opening Suffolk Short Course Classic held at the Mark Coogan Cross Country Course in Attleboro, Massachusetts. The Yarmouth Port, Massachusetts native covered the three-kilometer course in a time of 12:57.12 in her collegiate debut.

Pendleton is the Bears' first MASCAC Women's Cross Country Rookie of the Week since Nicole Major earned the honor in 2022.

The BSU women's cross country team will be back in action on Saturday, September 20th when the Bears travel to Dartmouth, Massachusetts for the 52nd Annual UMass Dartmouth Invitational.
