St. Bonaventure

Lex had an outstanding indoor track debut in Bona's season-opener at RIT on Friday night. She immediately made a mark in the program record book as she set the school record in the mile and also jumped to second all-time in the 800 meters. 

Lex established a new school record in the mile with a winning time of 5:18.92 in the RIT Invitational. She beat out 24 other competitors and crossed the finish line over a second quicker than second-place finisher Amelia Gilbert of RIT (5:20.27) as she claimed victory. She also crushed the previous Bona record mark of 5:25.29 set two years ago by Amberlee Robertson at Atlantic 10 Championships.

The New Jersey native also ran a strong time in the 800 meters as she finished second out of 30 runners with an effort of 2:28.25. She was less than a second off the winning mark of 2:27.67 by Mia Vizcaino of Brockport.
