the UNCG cross country and track and field programs.
Chewens, a four- year letterwinner in both track and field and
cross county, spent last season as a volunteer assistant coach for
the Spartans during the track and field seasons. She concluded her

Chewens, a native of Cornwall-on-Hudson, N.Y., was a four-time
Academic All-SoCon recipient during her career. She posted a
career-best 18:59 in the 5,000-meters at the Wake Forest Relays in
2009 while posting a 24:39.8 in the 6,000-meter cross country race
at the Colonial Inter-Regional in 2007. In indoor track, she posted
a personal-best and the then fourth-fastest time in school history
in the mile, clocking in at 5:16.80 in the 2008-09 SoCon
Championships. In outdoor track, she posted personal-bests in the
1,500-meters (4:48.14) her senior campaign while posting a best
time in the 3,000-meters (10:45) her sophomore year.
