PRINCETON, N.J. - Navy senior Amy Baxter finished first out of 23 runners in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at the ECAC Championship in Princeton, N.J. Baxter won the race in a time of 10:24.01, which provisionally qualified her for the NCAA Championship.

"I am thrilled for Amy that she was able to win," said Navy Women's Track Coach Carla Criste. "This is such a great accomplishment and something that she will never forget."
