As the only Keene State College fall athlete still competing, this week’s Athlete of the Week is cross-country runner Maggie Fitter.
The senior Owl out of Branford, Conn. qualified for the NCAA Championships at Terra Haute, Ind. with her ninth place finish this past weekend.
Fitter’s 21:56 finish at the NCAA Regional meet has kept her season alive as she remains as the last Owl on the course late in the fall season.

Dormio led KSC both offensively and defensively throughout the tournament.
Dormio had six kills and a game-high 13 digs in the team’s opening round victory over Daniel Webster College. She also had 16 kills and an equal number of digs, both team bests, as KSC fell to Western New England College in the tournament semi-finals.
