Following her stellar sixth place finish at the NCAA Division II West Regional Championships in Academy of Art University's first post season appearance, senior Jenny Bergren, an Orinda native, was recognized by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association as All-Region award winner for cross country in Division II. Bergren was also named PacWest Runner of the Year. Bergren pioneered the ART U program by being the first Urban Knight to qualify for NCAA Nationals.
"The feeling of making it to Nationals is like none other," Bergren said. "This has been goal of mine for some time so when I found out I had a good cry!"
The recipient of an NCAA All-Region honor for her performance, Bergren headed to the NCAA Division II Cross Country Championships held on Nov. 17 in Joplin, MO.
