LAWRENCEVILLE, NJ – Siena Outdoor Track's Olivia Lomascolo ended the Saints' trip to the 2021 MAAC Men's & Women's Outdoor Track Championships on a high note Sunday afternoon, running a school record in the women's 5K race. The performance highlighted a day of impressive racing on both the men's and women's side in day 2 action.
 
"It was a great weekend for both teams," head coach John Kenworthy said. "The MAAC is as good as ever in outdoor track, so every year it gets more and more difficult to score points and compete at the front of races. Nonetheless, we've shown that we're growing too, and walk away from the weekend with five top-3 finishes, many personal bests, and great performances across all of our events."
 
Overall, the Siena men scored 31 team points to take sixth place in their fifth go-around at the event, while the women placed seventh with 34 points. Monmouth claimed victory on both the men's and women's side, doing so for the seventh consecutive season.
 
Lomascolo's mark of 16:51.88 in the 5,000-meter race was good for a third-place finish and re-set the previous mark run by program great Sarah Forman in 2019. The Ballston Lake, New York native's performance highlighted a day that consisted of two trips to the podium and five scoring finishes for the Green and Gold.
 
Siena featured scorers in both the men's and women's 1,500-meter race, with freshman Killian McNamee concluding his first trip to the MAAC Championship Finals with an eighth-place time of 3:54.30 for the third-fastest in program history and a personal best. Senior Morgan Serkes rounded out a stellar weekend performance with a third-place finish of 4:38.49, while classmate Monica Strain took ninth (4:46.55) and sophomore Delia McDade Clay placed 11^th with a new personal best time of 4:48.72.
 
Siena also saw success on the men's side of the 5,000-meter face, with sophomore Brandon Olden taking fourth place with a personal best time of 14:31.56, putting him third on the program all-time list. Classmate Tommy Anderson (14:47.46) also set a personal mark to place ninth, while senior Regina Rosati joined Lomascolo in scoring in the women's race with a fifth place finish, recording the fourth-best time in program history at 17:16.12.
 
Siena's day 2 action started and ended with relay competition, as the men placed seventh (49.09) and the women took eighth (59.50) in the 4x100 relay. The women finished fifth in the 4x800 (9:34.18), while the men placed sixth (7:52.13). Finally, the men took seventh in the 4x400 (3:38.29), while women placed ninth (4:35.57).
 
Siena will now await the official selections from the ECAC this coming Wednesday to see which runners will be selected to compete at next week's ECAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Springfield, Massachusetts.
