EVANSVILLE, Indiana -- Erin Carmone, of East Providence, a freshman at Stonehill College in Easton, Mass. finished 23rd on Saturday at the national Division II Cross Country Championships.

Carmone, a three-time all-stater last year in cross country, indoor track and outdoor track, traversed the 6 kilometer course in 21:33.7, an average of 5:47 per mile. Her performance led Stonehill, the top-ranked Division II in the Northeast, to a 16th place finish in the national championship.

Last week, Carmone was named the 2009 U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Division II Women's Athlete of the Year. Two weeks ago, at Franklin Park in Boston, she won the NCAA Division II Regional, helping send Stonehill to the national championship.

Last month, she was second in the Northeast-10 Championship at St. Michael's College in Winooski, Vermont. She ran the 5 kilometer course in 18:23.
