Bulldogs’ Ericka Dorn named 5CTCA Runner of the Week

College of San Mateo freshman Ericka Dorn was named the Northern California Female Runner of the Week by the California Community College Cross Country & Track Coaches Association (5CTCA) after an impressive finish at last week's Lobo Invitational.

From the 5CTCA: "After a stellar debut at the Clovis Crush Invitational two weeks ago, freshman Erika Dorn of the College of San Mateo continued to impress with a third-place finish at the Lobo Invitational. Dorn covered the challenging 5km course at Palo Corona in 20:16 to be the top Norcal finish by over one minute."

Dorn opened the season on Sep. 6 at the Crush Invitational by taking fifth-place overall. She cleared the 5K Woodward Park course in Fresno with a time of 19:38.2. She was the North's No. 2 finisher at that meet.

Dorn is one of three female runners competing for San Mateo this season.
