Liz and Christine join their sister as Novacare Student-Athletes of the Week, all three breaking program records at the Dr. Sander Challenge last weekend.

Both El and Liz broke school records in the 3,000-meter run. El Mancini ran the 3K in 9:20.40 to claim third place followed closely behind by sister Liz Mancini in fourth with a time of 9:21.88. Both broke the old school mark set by La Salle Hall of Athletes member Rachel Papin back in 2006 (9:22.69).

Christine Mancini shined in the 800-meter clocking in a time of 2:09.47. The mark eclipsed the program record achieved by Ndidi Obichere in 2002 (2:10.17). She finished the race in ninth-place overall.
