The second Battler to earn conference weekly honors was the first-year runner Hodge, who turned in her own quality performance at the Lock Haven Invitational.
The women’s field was just as deep in the 6K event as Hodge finished in the top 18 percent out of over 200 individuals.
She finished 40th with a time of 23:20.20 which is the fourth-best 6K time among all conference runners this fall.
Hodge is among a handful of talented freshmen runners in the conference this year along with the likes of MacKenna Curtis-Collins (Malone), Gabrielle Lawrence (Findlay), Sophia Maeda (Hillsdale) and Claire McNally (Hillsdale), to name a few.
