9.20.25

ANNANDALE-ON-HUDSON, N.Y. - The Sarah Lawrence women's cross country team continued their impressive 2025 campaign with another podium finish on Saturday at the Fred Pavlich Invitational hosted by Bard College. The team had four top-20 scorers and three of the top four overall Skyline runners in the race. This marks the team's third consecutive top-five finish to start the year and back-to-back top-three placements.

Senior Perry Yun continued her own impressive campaign for the Gryphons, pacing the team with a time of 26:40.7 and a 12th-place finish. Fellow senior Ali Xhafa followed closely behind with a 14th-place time of 27:14.5 and Caitlin McCabe finished just a tenth of a second behind Xhafa to give the team a trio of top-15 finishers. Whitney Hall and Al Sinclair would be the two Gryphons to cross the finish line, with the former crossing the line with a time of 27:43.2, good for 20th place, and the latter crossing with a 27th-best time of 29:38.6. Isabella Moya and Kallisti Milatou-Fakountou followed their teammates in 30th and 33rd place respectively while Dahlia Shephard, Haley Balka and Genevieve Clark rounded out SLC's group with three more top-50 times.
