PI’s Legassie gains USCAA honor
University of Maine at Presque Isle runner Kayla Legasse earned USCAA Player of the Week honors for the week ending Oct. 21.
Legasse placed first in the Mariner Invitational 5K, hosted by Maine Maritime Academy, with a time of 19:51. Legasse , a Presque Isle native, also helped lead her team with the sweep of the top five spots at the MMA Invitational.
“Kayla ran a season’s best considering the shorter but more difficult course compared to last week’s very fast surface at the Maine State Championships,” said Owls’ coach Chris Smith.
Legasse is the third UMPI athlete (Thomas Grylka, men’s cross country; Reynold Brown, golf) to be acknowledged for this award.
