ROCHESTER, N.Y. – Sophomore Jaime Lisack clocked a season-best six-kilometer finish to lead Ithaca to its ninth straight runner-up finish at the New York State Collegiate Track Conference women's cross country championship Saturday at the Hamilton College Golf Course. Her performance earned her Empire 8 Women's Cross Country Runner of the Week nods announced Monday.

Lisack finished in 23:12.80 to place eighth out of 129 runners. She was the top Empire 8 finisher and earned second-team all-state honors.

Ithaca, who finished second out of 11 teams with just 64 points, has placed in the top three for 16 straight years. The Bombers finished second to 18th-ranked St. Lawrence who won the meet with 34 points.

The Bombers return to action Saturday, Nov. 2 looking to defend their Empire 8 title at the conference championships in Saratoga Springs.
