April 24, 2008

PHILADELPHIA, PA- Sean Quigley (Braintree, MA/ Archbishop Williams) continues to get recognition as he was recently named the Eastern Collegiate Athletic Conference (ECAC) Men's Outdoor Track 'Athlete of the Week', the second time this month he has earned this award. Quigley also was named the A-10 'Performer of the Week' for his Olympic Trials qualifying time in the 10K over the weekend.

Two weeks after qualifying for the Olympic Trials in the 10K, he did it again- this time in the 5K racing to a 13:30.25 time at the Mt. SAC Relays in California over the weekend. He was the top American finisher after beating out his previous personal record by 19 seconds, and earned Atlantic 10 Conference `Performer of the Week' accolades for his effort. He placed fifth overall.

The Boston native finished ahead of NCAA Cross Country Champion Josh McDougal and NCAA Indoor Track 5K Champion Shadrack Songkok en route to his speedy performance. The winner of the 5K event was Australian Collis Birmingham.
