COLLEGE PARK, MD -- Each week during the 2025-26 season, a Maryland student-athlete who has shown excellence on and off the playing field will be selected as the Solomon Eye Physicians & Surgeons Terp of the Week.

This week's Terp of the Week is junior Rose Coats of the women's cross country team - her third time earning the honor this season and the sixth time overall in her career. 

With a 10th-place individual finish, Coats became the Terps' first-ever All-Big Ten First Team performer as she led Maryland at the Big Ten Championship last week hosted by Michigan State.

The last time the Terps had an All-Conference performer in cross country was in 2017 when Alexandra Lucki placed 12th to earn All-Big Ten honors. Coats is the 10th all-conference performer in Maryland's cross country program history, but is the first ever to receive All-Big Ten First Team honors.

Coats crossed the line first for the Terps in 10th out of 165 runners. She completed the 6k course with a time of 20:14.2, significantly improving her performance by eighteen spots from last year's Big Ten Championships.

Coats and the Terps will be back in action on Friday, November 14 as they travel to Bethlehem, PA for the NCAA Mid-Atlantic Regional Championship meet hosted by Lehigh.
