CHICAGO --- A personal-best time and a record-setting performance at the Bethel College (Ind.) Invitational has earned Saint Xavier University's Ashley Shares (Palos Park, Ill.) her second Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Female Cross Country Runner of the Week award, it was announced by the league office on Tuesday morning.

Shares, a senior, turned in a huge race on Friday beating her previous best 5K time by 10 seconds in setting a new course record of 18:21 at the meet.  Shares' first-place individual finish enabled the Cougars to place third overall in the meet behind only NAIA No. 14 Aquinas College (Mich.) and Indiana Wesleyan University, which is receiving votes in the latest NAIA poll.

Shares also claimed the weekly honor last month during the period of Sept. 3-9.

Saint Xavier is among others receiving votes in the latest NAIA poll.
