RSCC’S KAILEE ROSSMAN NAMED TCCAA AND NJCAA RUNNER OF THE WEEK

Freshman student-athlete Kailee Rossman started the cross country season with an incredible achievement, being named TCCAA and NJCAA Runner of the Week in the first week of competition.

The announcement came after Rossman's stellar performance at the Walters State Cross Country Invitational, where she placed first in the women's 5k individual event. Rossman's final time of 23:30 was more than a minute faster than second place.

"Kailee had an incredible day at the invitational, and we know we will see even more great things from her this year," said David Lane, Roane State's director of athletics. "Bringing home gold in her first meet with the Lady Raiders is truly something special."

The National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) announced its week one edition of the players of the week on August 28, 2024, covering the sports of cross country, football, soccer, and volleyball. Rossman is one of only two student-athletes from Tennessee to make the list in any sport for week one.

Roane State competes in men's, women's, and team events in cross country. The college will host its invitational on the flagship Roane County Campus on September 13, 2024.

Schedules, rosters, results, and regional standings for cross country are available at roanestate.edu/mxc for the men's team and roanestate.edu/wxc for the women's team.
