(Nov. 3) - Emory freshman Tess Gallegos helped
the Eagles to a third-place finish at the University Athletic
Association Championships last weekend in Conyers, Georgia.
Gallegos led all Eagles and finished fifth overall in the 76-runner
field with a 6K time of 22:06. It represented the first time this
season that she had ranked as the team's No. 1 runner in five
events. In addition, her finish enabled her to claim First Team
All-UAA honors, one of two Emory runners to earn that distinction.
Emory's third-place performance represented the 18th straight year
