Grade- B

The men’s cross country had an extremely successful season finishing in the top-5 in five of six meets this year, with the lone non top-5 finish coming in the NCAA Championships, where the team finished 20th.The finish marked the 20th time in 26 years the team has finished in the top-20 at the Championships. 

Fifteen different runners finished in the top-10 in a competition this season and seven had top five finishes, showing how the team has received major contributions and success throughout the roster. Leading this group of runners was junior Ryan Hill, who earned All-ACC, All-NCAA Regional and repeated as an All-American with his 22nd place finish in the men’s 10k race at the NCAA Championships, becoming the 24th All-American in program history.  

The consistent success seen through the years is a credit to the program established by coach Geiger but each of his teams must commit and build its own identity. This team’s commitment to the winning program is evident in the widespread success and it is their commitment to each other that has driven them to victory as a team this season.

“When you are a top 20 team that means you have a pretty solid program,” coach Geiger said.
