Three ACC cross country student-athletes have been named finalists for the prestigious Honda Award. Florida State's Susan Kuijken, North Carolina's Brie Felnagle and Virginia Tech's Tasmin Fanning join Texas Tech's Sally Kipyego as finalists.

The winner will be decided by nationwide voting among NCAA member schools and will receive the Honda Sports Award for cross country. The winner will also become a nominee for The Honda-Broderick Cup, awarded annually to the nation's outstanding collegiate woman athlete of the year. In addition to the honor of this selection, American Honda will donate $1,000 to the women's athletic fund of each nominee's university. The winner's program will receive $5,000.
