Leahy Finishes up Freshman Season at Siena
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. – Former Craftsbury Academy (CA) great Cormac Leahy finished off his freshman campaign at Siena College in style over the weekend at the MAAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships at Rider University.
Leahy recorded his best time of the season in the 5000m for the Saints, good enough for a 20-second-place finish. He was coming off a seventh-place finish and the best time of his young career in the 1500m at the Capital District Classic hosted by RPI two weeks ago. Leahy won multiple individual state titles for the Chargers during his high school career and helped bring the program its first ever boys’ overall Division IV state title in 2022. He plans to compete for Siena’s men’s cross-country team in the fall.
