RINDGE, N.H. (October 28, 2014) – Sophomore B.J. Smith (Concord, N.H.) of the Franklin Pierce University men's cross country team has been named Northeast-10 Conference Athlete of the Week for the week ending on Oct. 26, as announced Tuesday by the Conference office.

Smith led the way for the Ravens on Friday afternoon at the CCSU Mini Meet at Stanley Park in New Britain, Conn. He stopped the clock at 15:09.05 in the 5k race to finish fourth overall, which helped Franklin Pierce to a fourth-place finish as a team. Smith was the fastest Division II runner in the field at Central Connecticut State.

It is the second time this year Smith has earned Northeast-10 Athlete of the Week accolades, as he was previously honored for the week ending on Sept. 21.

The Ravens are idle this week, but will be back in action on Sunday, Nov. 9, when they host the Northeast-10 Championship.
