AMHERST, Mass. – Former Hazen Union standouts Jessica and Cassandra Royer each posted top ten finishes for the University of Vermont (UVM) track and field team over the weekend at the Ken O’Brien Pre-Conference Qualifier.
Cassandra finished fourth in the 5000m with a time of 19:26.63 and Jessica finished ninth, posting a time of 21:15:97 for the Catamounts. It was the best finish of the outdoor season for Jessica, who also runs cross-country and indoor track for UVM. Cassandra also ran track and cross-country for the Hazen program and is in her first year with the Catamounts, posting a top five finish for the cross-country team last fall.
The Catamounts and their dynamic duo will be back in action on Saturday as they travel to Durham, N.H., for the America East Championships.
