UNC sophomore Sasha Neglia has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Women's Cross Country Co-Performer of the Week following the first race of the fall.
Neglia, the 2020 ACC Freshman of the Year, set a course record in taking first at the Charlotte Opener, where Tar Heels claimed the top four spots en route to a 17-42 win over the host 49ers. Neglia's 5K time of 17:10 bested the old course record, which had stood since 2017, by 17 seconds.
Neglia shared the women's honor with FSU senior Lauren Ryan.
