BIDDEFORD, Maine -- University of New England student-athlete Michaela Moran recently received a Liebster Award for her “Vegan Life” blog in which she writes about her life as a vegan cross-country runner.  She began the blog earlier this fall as an assignment in her  English Composition course, taught by Associate Professor Michael Cripps, Ph.D.

The Liebster Award is an honor given to impressive, newer bloggers who have followings of fewer than 200 people, as a way to encourage their continued blogging.  Nominations come from former Liebster Award winners.

Moran, a first-year applied exercise major, was the top runner and all-conference performer for the Nor'easters' Commonwealth Coast Conference champion squad.
