ERIE, Pa. – The Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference (AMCC) office released its end of season awards and honors on Thursday for women's cross country that included six Penn State Behrend runners named to the All-Conference team.
Freshman Olivia Nola (Erie, PA/Collegiate Academy) took the conference by storm and was named AMCC Runner of the Year. She did not let another conference runner beat her in an event this season including her own team.
