2025 ROSTERS

The 2025 Women's Cross-Country roster features a pair of returning runners, while the men's squad sees a runner return from injury join an incoming freshman to round out the roster.

Paige Gajewski and Torren Meyers each return to the women's roster after gaining valuable experience late last season. Both Gajewski and Meyers raced against Division I competition at the Canisius Alumni Invite, before taking on conference opponents at the AMCC Championship to end last fall.

The pair each posted their best times of the season at Delaware Park in the Canisius Invite as Gajewski recorded a 35:39.1 5K, while Meyers ran a career-best 35:39.1 5K.

On the men's side, junior Alexander Scheer will look to return to his 2023 form that saw him set a PR in the 5K at the Meghan Memorial (18:45.8) and 8K at AMCC Championship race (31:51.1).

Joining Scheer on the trails this season will be freshman Thomas Roty, who will look to hit the ground running in his first semester of collegiate action.
