The Shippensburg University sophomore was named the 2009 Women’s Cross Country Athlete of the Year by USA Track and Field Monday. This honor is awarded annually to some of the nation’s highest-profile runners.

Spence, a distance runner who hails from Shippensburg, won the Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference and regional championships for the second consecutive time last season. In fact, she was undefeated until reaching the national championships.
