SAINT MARY’S CARDINALS SCOUTING REPORT:
• AUGUSTANA INVITE: Grant Schneider (Moorhead, Minn.) kicked off his sophomore campaign in much the same fashion as he ended his freshman’s — leading the Cardinal charge with a four-mile time of 21:09.44 at the season-opening Augustana Twilight on Sept. 1 — while Caeli McMahon (Holmen, Wis.) led the charge for the Cardinal women, posting a 5K time of 21:41.28.
• LEADERS OF THE PACK: Schneider has been the top male finisher for the Cardinals in each of the team’s last eight races — including all seven a year ago. On the women’s side, four different runners have led the way over the past two seasons, including McMahon this season, and Kendra Klobe (Glencoe, Minn.), Caroline Gearin, and Emily Kern (Buffalo, Minn.) a year ago.
• GETTING THEIR FEET WET: The Cardinals boasted nine runners who competed in their first collegiate race on Sept. 1 at the Augustana Twilight — Ryan Topolski (Onalaska, Wis. / 22:00.03), Isaiah Fitzgerald (Rochester, Minn. / 22:15.36), Sean Smyth (Pinehurst, N.C. / 22:34.97), Gabe Schonknecht (Chicago, Ill. / 22:43.35), Delorean Peterson (Blair, Wis. / 22:51.49), Caden Fisher (Gardner, Kan. / 24:04.48), Evan Finney (West End, N.C. / 25:24.84), Rheanna Hopkins (Bruce, Wis. / 22:53.36), and Alyssa Kuffel (Rice Lake, Minn. / 27:12.05).
• POST-SEASON HONORS: Schneider collected honorable-mention All-MIAC honors after placing 22nd overall at the MIAC Championships on Oct. 29, 2022. He is the first Saint Mary’s cross country athlete to claim conference honors since Jovan Newsum was named All-MIAC First Team after placing third overall in 2016.
