BUFFALO, NY – Two members of the University at Buffalo Track and Field team will be competing at the European Championships over the next week.
First to compete will be incoming freshman Alexia Hecico, who will be competing at the European U20 Mountain Running Championships in Zermatt, Switzerland on Sunday, July 7, 2019. Hecico has extensive experience in Mountain Running and has represented her home country of Romania several times at the European Mountain Running Championships and the World Mountain Running Championships.
Unlike cross country running, mountain running is held on very difficult terrain with a substantial increase in elevation from start to finish.
