Oswego State freshman cross-country runner Katie Laris has scorched the trails of the SUNYAC this fall season, finishing in the top three for the Oswego State women’s cross-country team in five out of six races. Laris placed first on the team at the Oneonta Invitational, the Oswego State In- vitational, the Houghton Highlander Invita- tional and the DeSales Invitational (6k). What may be the most impressive feat re- garding Laris’ cross-country career is the fact that she only became a distance runner her freshman year of high school.
