October 21, 2014 | Women's Track & Field
Chestnut Hill, Mass. – Senior Liv Westphal has earned ACC Women’s Cross Country Performer of the Week for the second time this season. The Limoges, France native has been honored for her performance at the Wisconsin Adidas Invite last Friday.
Westphal was the top Eagle finisher at Friday’s Wisconsin Invitational in Madison, Wisconsin, with a fourth overall finish in a field that included 22 ranked teams, including six of the top 10. The Limoges, France, senior finished the 6K course in 19:43, the fastest 6K time of her Boston College career and only eight seconds behind first-place finisher Crystal Nelson from Iowa State.
This is Westphal’s fourth ACC Performer of the Week award during her Boston College career. She was awarded the accolade earlier this year on Sep. 30 for her first place finish at the Battle in Beantown (16:30.0) and twice last season on Sep. 17, 2013 for her performance at the UMass Invitational (16:58.0) and Oct. 1, 2013 for her performance at last year’s Battle in Beantown (17:00.0).
Westphal will return to action in Earlysville, Va. for the Atlantic Coast Conference championships on Oct. 31.
