Petrova & Foley earn All-ASUN honors

Both Eagle runners post top 10 finishes at ASUN Championships

RICHMOND, Ky.- A pair of Florida Gulf Coast Eagles earned All-ASUN honors at the ASUN Championships on Friday as Alise Petrova and Rhyen Foley were both second team selections following top 10 finishes for the Blue and Green while Foley worked her way onto the ASUN All-Freshman Team as well. 

After earning third team honors as a freshman, Petrova was named a second team selection on Friday after finishing ninth at the ASUN Championships. She continued her breakout junior season with an 18:18.5 in the 5k to lead FGCU to a program best third place finish as a team. 

Foley was right behind Petrova Friday on the course and right behind her on the second team following a 10th place finish with an 18:19.2. The mark was also good enough to put Foley on the ASUN All-Freshman Team during her rookie season. 

"We are incredibly proud of Alise, Rhyen, and our whole women's team with the way they showed up at the conference championships" FGCU head coach Argeo Cruz said. "It was exciting to watch Rhyen make a big move and close the gap on Alise before watching them work together to the finish line." 

Petrova, Foley, and the rest of the Eagles are back in action on Nov. 13 in Tallahassee when they run in the NCAA South Region Championships.
