Elise DeRoo, a five-time Patriot League Scholar-Athlete of the Year, won five individual Patriot League championships – two indoor, one outdoor, and two cross country – on her way to being named to the Patriot League 25th All-Anniversary Team. DeRoo captured the women’s individual cross country championships in 2009 and 2010 before taking third at the 2011 event. She was also a force in both the indoor and outdoor seasons of track and field, taking gold in the 3,000-, 5,000-, and 10,000-meter runs en route to earning All-League First Team laurels. DeRoo, who earned the school’s Mitchell Memorial Award as the graduating student-athlete with the highest GPA, was a two-time CoSIDA Academic All-American. DeRoo, twice named the Outdoor Outstanding Performer and Cross Country Outstanding Runner of the Meet, qualified for the 2010 NCAA cross country championships and finished her Raider career as the program record holder in the 3,000-meter run, one-mile run, and distance medley relay.
