Junior Emily Lahowetz earned first-team all-UAA honors with a fourth-place finish in a time of 23:25.0. Senior Brooke Lane also earned first-team all-UAA accolades with a seventh-place showing (23.37.5). Junior Matt Hoelle finished second in a time of 25.41.2, just seven seconds off the winning time, to earn first-team all-league honors. The Bears men finished with 80 points, just eight points behind second-place Emory University. Brandeis ran away with the title with 47 points.

Nathan Szep and Ben Lambert set WUSTL single-season records and the Bears football team wrapped up at least a share of its sixth UAA title with a 28-14 win at the University of Rochester Nov. 2.

Szep completed 14 of 24 passes for 244 yards and three touchdowns, giving him 2,112 yards this year, also a school record. Szep now also has nine touchdown passes in three UAA games, tying the league single-season record with one game left to play.
