Millie Paladino (Morgantown, W. Va.) in the women’s 3,000 meters was the highlight of the BU Season Opener for the Friars. Competing in a strong field, Paladino immediately positioned herself right behind the pacer. Due to a quick pace, Paladino was a part
of a lead pack of three that broke away from the rest of the field. She would finish third overall with a time of 9:05.10. The time was a 23 second personal best for Paladino and looks to be one of the top times in the country this season.
