Senior cyclist Stephanie Lawrence isn’t just winning races; she’s building one of the most decorated careers in Marian University cycling history as a member of the University’s nationally recognized cycling program.
Lawrence has made a significant impact in collegiate cycling, earning an astonishing 27 national titles, including five elite championships. She recently secured her fifth consecutive collegiate sprint title and helped lead Marian’s team to a national championship victory this past season.
Her journey in cycling began at a young age and has been shaped by both passion and perseverance. But her path to dominance hasn’t come without challenge. After experiencing a serious crash as a teenager, rather than stepping away, she leaned in, returning to cycling with renewed determination. That resilience has defined her career, especially during her time at Marian, where she credits coaches and teammates with helping her rediscover both her confidence and her passion.
In addition to her success on the track, Lawrence is pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering and computer science, balancing the demands of academics and high-level competition.
As she enters her final year at Marian, Lawrence continues to set her sights on competing at the highest levels, including future world championship events and the Olympic stage. Her commitment to excellence, perseverance, and teamwork reflects Marian University’s dedication to developing student-athletes who succeed both on and off the field.
