Michael Skutt romped to victory at the Hamilton College Short Course this past weekend in 15:08.2, which shaved nearly nine seconds off the previous all-time best, set by St. Lawrence's Jackson Hamilton in 2021.

Skutt, who posted his second victory in as many meets, beat teammate Nicholas Lyndaker to the finish line by 14.1 seconds. Between Skutt's and Lyndaker's efforts, the Saints finished second in the team standings to Roberts Wesleyan by just one point, 47-48.

This is the second time that a male athlete from St. Lawrence has been named M-F Athletic National Athlete of the Week during the cross country season. Skutt joins Dadley Ogetti, who took home national honors on October 14, 2019.
