Flushing, New York – Freshman Lea Reimer (Paderborn, Germany) captured CUNYAC All-Star accolades for the third time this season after capturing her fourth individual CUNYAC Championship after medaling with a first-place finish in the women's 10,000 meters at the 2024 CUNYAC Outdoor Track and Field Championships. Reimer picked up Conference Outdoor Track and Field All-Star honors to add to her accolade-filled first season after becoming the first Panther runner in school history to take home the Individual Community College Cross Country Crown in the fall, then followed that performance up in the winter during the outdoor season, earning two medals for first-place finishes in the women's mile and 3000 meters with times of 5:55.59 and 12:26.51 at the 2024 CUNYAC Indoor Track and Field Championships.

The Paderborn, Germany native registered four straight top ten finishes in all four meets she competed in this season, posting personal records in the Queensborough Relays with a time of 43.31.47 and a second-place finish in the 10,000 meter run, becoming the first runner in program history to qualify for Nationals. Reimer followed that up the following week at the Coach Omeltchenko Invitational with an eighth-place finish in her only attempt of the 5,000 meter run of the season, just missing the NJCAA Outdoor Track and Field Championship qualifying mark of 21 seconds with a time of 21:49.98.

Reimer capped off her outstanding Outdoor Season by becoming the program's first-ever USTFCCCA (United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association) All-American selection, crossing the tape with a time of 48:17.48 and an eighth-place finish at the 2024 NJCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships.
