With loss of one of the best runners in Big East history last season, senior Alexandra Clinton has become an leader on the team who guides by example.
Alexandra Clinton never thought about being a leader, not until this year started, at least. Clinton, who runs cross country for Syracuse University, is one of only three seniors on the women’s team this season.
The need for leadership of this young team was heightened after the graduation of Sarah Pagano — one of the most decorated female runners in Big East history.
Clinton is trying to pick up that slack, but she said it is all a bit weird.
