Saints Shatter Records and Secure Wins 

Men’s Cross-Country: Junior Nick Lyndaker broke a 13-year-old course record as he ran for a time of 24:35.3 on Saturday and earned an individual championship for men’s cross country. 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.  

Women’s Cross-Country: First-years Avery Blanchard and Charlotte Blake were both awarded all-Liberty League second team honors for their performances in the women’s six-kilometer race. 

Riding: The riding team resumed their winning ways for the second weekend of the season with a win at SUNY Geneseo on Saturday as well as a home-win Sunday at Elsa Gunnison Appleton Riding Hall. On Saturday, the Scarlet and Brown claimed their third win of the season at the final SUNY Geneseo show, as junior Annie Kammer was named the High Point Rider and the Saints recorded six class wins. Senior Sydney Curley took second place in Novice Equitation. On Sunday, the Saints recorded their fourth win as the High Point Team with 47 points besting the reserve team's 42 points. 

Men’s Soccer: Sophomore striker Henry Brown scored his 11th goal of the season, and the Saints got an own-goal to go their way late as the men's soccer team extended their unbeaten streak to 14 games in a 2-2 tie with Hobart Saturday. St. Lawrence moved to 8-2-6 on the year with the draw and finished the regular season unbeaten in Liberty league play with a 5-0-4 record and 19 points. Despite this, the Saints will settle for second place in the regular season standings after Vassar earned their 20th league point with their win over RIT. The Saints now host the winner of Skidmore and Ithaca in the conference semifinals, with the winner heading to the Liberty League championship game. 

Women’s Swimming: The St. Lawrence women's swimming and diving team recorded their first win of the season Friday, taking a 160-127 victory on the back of a big performance from sophomore Amelia Stacy. Stacy won four races on the day, taking first in every event she appeared in over the course of the dual meet. She took first place in the 200 Fly with a time of 2:21.59, the 100 Fly with a time of 1:05.01, the 200 IM touching the wall in 2:19.27, and, as a member of the 200 medley relay, the Saints took first place in that event as well.
