St. Lawrence University's women's track and field team swept the 2013 Liberty League Outdoor Track and Field Awards as selected by the league's coaches.

Caroline Raue was Track Performer of the Year, Divya Biswal was Field Performer of the Year, Marisa Turner was Rookie of the Year and coach Kate Curran was Coach of the Year for the outdoor season. The Saints also swept the Liberty League indoor awards with Biswal and Curran earning back-to-back field athlete and coaches awards.

Raue, a senior, was a two-event qualifier for the NCAA Championships and finished sixth in the 3000 meter steeplechase to earn All America honors. She also qualified and competed in the 5000 meters, finishing 18th. She was ECAC, Liberty League and NYSCTC champion in the steeplechase.

Sophomore Biswall also earned All America honors for the Saints, finishing eighth in the triple jump. The SLU record-holder both indoors and outdoors in that event, she was the Liberty League Field Athlete of the Meet after winning both the long and triple jumps in the championship meet.

Turner was a standout in the 400 meters and the high jump and was a key part of SLU's record setting 4x400 relay team which qualified for the NCAAs, the first Saint women's relay to do so, in her rookie season. She tied for second in the NYSCTC high jump, finished third in the 400 and ran the third leg on the championship 4x400 relay and was second in the high jump, fifth in the 400 and helped the Saints to second in the 4x400 at the Liberty League Championship.

Coach Curran was named Coach of the Year both indoors and outdoors for the second straight year and has earned Liberty League coaching honors six times in her five seasons as Saint coach.
