The Saints

Two-time defending Liberty League champion Nick Lyndaker leads the Saints into the event, having taken the title on his home course in each of the years he competed. He is coming off an eighth place finish in his last outing at regionals in 2024. He'll be joined in the Saints' starting box by teammates Riley Cushman, Max Finley, Cyrus Goetze, Henry Hagen, Galen Halasz, Nick Lyndaker, Eliot O'Mahoney. 

The Course
 
The championship will use the Ronald C. Hoffmann Cross Country Course. The course is named in honor of St. Lawrence Hall of Famer and former cross country coach Ronald C. Hoffmann '54.

It sits next to Leithead Fieldhouse and Newell Field House on the campus of St. Lawrence. It is the site of the annual Ronald C. Hoffmann Invitational and has hosted several Liberty League and NCAA regional meets, including both the 2024 and 2025 Liberty League Championships, and the 2022 NCAA Mideast Regionals. The layout includes grass, cinder, and wooded trails. It features an iconic hill that athletes climb twice, and a long straightaway over the final 400 meters which creates an exciting finish for runners and spectators.
