COLCHESTER, Vt. - Saint Michael's College women's cross country sophomore Torrey Hanna (Addison, Vt./Vergennes Union) was introduced as a Northeast 10 Conference Elite 24 Award winner on Saturday after the NE10 Championship at Bethpage (N.Y.) Polo at the Park.
 
The Elite 24 Award honors student-athletes with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at a finals site. She is the fourth Purple Knight cross country runner in as many years to earn the accolade, after Katie Culliton '24 and Swapnil Jhajharia '24 swept the 2023 awards and Fran Peterson '27 was lauded last fall.
 
Hanna holds a 4.0 GPA as a public health major, and shaved nearly a minute off of her prior 6K PR by clocking in at 27:37.4 on Saturday during the NE10 Championship, finishing 75th overall. She took the Purple Knights' eighth position twice this fall while adding a season-high 21st-place performance at the Purple and Gold's 8K Equality Invitational on Sept. 26. Hanna landed on the NE10 Academic Honor Roll both semesters as a first-year.
 
Hanna brings the number of Saint Michael's Elite 24 Award winners to 10 since the laurel was established for the 2018-19 school year, and three in the last two years alone. Peterson and Nolan Marold '26 (men's basketball) were recognized in 2025-26.
