The St. Lawrence women's cross country team turned in a strong performance Saturday morning, finishing fifth out of 16 teams at the RPI Fairgrounds Showdown as they continue to push through the first half of their cross country season.

Quinn Sirgany led the Saints, crossing the line in 21:50.7 to place 13th overall and fifth among all Liberty League runners. The time marked a personal best by nearly a minute.

Charlotte Blake was next across for St. Lawrence, finishing 18th in a personal-best 22:05.2 for the senior runner. Avery Blanchard crossed the line in 22:21.1, cracking the top 30 in 29th place.

Elsewhere for the Saints, the team saw multiple personal bests beyond Sirgany and Blake. Carly Zack finished 39th in 22:36.4, Madison Beaudoin took 42nd in 22:41.9, Elle Waite was 49th in 22:54.0 and Ellie Riley rounded out the group in 53rd with a time of 22:57.9. All four posted PRs.

St. Lawrence will compete in a large field again on Saturday, October 3, heading to Lehigh University for the Paul Short Run.
