In Arianna Braccio’s freshman season with the Pirates women’s cross country team, she established herself as one of the Hall’s most gifted female runners, clocking an 18:30 race at the New Jersey Institute of Technology Invitational.
That time left her behind five others in the invitational meet. Braccio said that this was around the range she wanted to fall into but was not consistent enough for her to be happy with her current speed.
To improve herself in the offseason, Braccio returned to her hometown over the summer to work on her agility for when the horn blares for the first time this season and beyond.
