As a team, the Saints finished second overall. Lyndaker's record is the fastest since Lee Berube of SUNY Geneseo ran a 24:39.4 in 2011, breaking a 13-year-old record. His individual championship is the first by a St. Lawrence runner since Joseph Smith in 2019. Lyndaker also set the fastest winning eight-kilometer time in Liberty League history. He earned all-Liberty League first-team honors with the win.
