THE LINEUP THE DUKES LATELY
Duquesne sent a small contingent to the Carnegie Mellon Invitational last weekend, led by Gina Bolla, who ran a 5K personal record and finished third overall, earning Atlantic 10 Conference Performer of the Week honors. 20 Dukes competed in the 51st annual Paul Short Run at Lehigh on Oct. 3. Ben Shields led the men with a 16th-place finish in the Brown Division, while freshman Sylvia Kashak paced the women, finishing 77th in the Brown Race. Shields and Nathaniel Woshner have been 1-2 for the Dukes on the men's side in all three races this season. The women's leader has changed in each meet: Bolla won at Saint Francis, first-year Lauren Ciuca led at RMU, and Kashak paced at Lehigh. Senior Gina Bolla has competed in three races this season, twice when Duquesne did not score as a team, and has two meet victories and a third-place finish.

Gina Bolla – Women's Performer of the Week (Oct. 14)
Ben Shields – Men's Performer of the Week (Sept. 16)
