Natalie Rodriguez earned her second Student-Athlete of the Month award in 2015-16 after winning the award in October 2015 during cross country season. The sophomore from Santa Clarita ran 4:31.75 in the 1500m at the adidas/Steve Scott Invitational on April 30, breaking the previous school record by 2.15 seconds (Heidi Swanson, 2014). The time is the fifth-fastest in the CCAA this year.

Rodriguez’s time achieved the NCAA Division II provisional qualifying standard in the 1500m, something she had already accomplished in the 5000m. She will compete in both events at this weekend’s CCAA Championships in Los Angeles.
