Men's Cross Country Record Book

The men's cross country record book has been updated thru the 2024 season.  Among the features in this PDF are:
Coaching History
Year-by-Year Results
Championship Meet History
Individual Awards History
Top Individual Performances

You can view the record book at the link at the top or quickly view each section by clicking on the appropriate links in the first paragraph. This document will be updated at the end of each academic year.  Continue scrolling to view some historical photos of top performers as well as some historical facts/program notes.  If you find errors and/or believe there to be omissions from the record book in a certain area you can always email DeSales sports information director (BJ Spigelmyer) as sometimes history is unavailable in certain years.  In addition, photos are limited and sometimes non-existent especially prior to 2005 so anyone with photos can also email them (color or black & white) to the DeSales SID (BJ) and we will do our best to add them into the history if appropriate.
