Holy Cross Athletics

Deana Pileika of the Holy Cross women’s cross country and track and field teams has been a solid and consistent leader – and model student-athlete – for the Crusaders’ distance running squad during her four years on The Hill.

Her cross country personal bests over her career include a time of 19:23.7 in the 5K and 23:47.3 in the 6K. For track and field, her personal-best 5K time is 19:06.48.

Pileika (Suffield, Conn.) has earned multiple selections to the Patriot League Academic Honor Roll between cross country and track and field, and has volunteered with Abby’s House and Working for Worcester. She will graduate Holy Cross’ interdisciplinary studies program as a global health major, and is a finalist for the Fulbright Scholarship program in Lithuania.
