2008 NAC Men’s and Women’s Cross Country All-Conference Teams Announced
Following the NAC Cross Country Championships, the men's and women's all-conference teams have been selected. Runners scoring in the top seven earned first-team honors while the next seven for each gender earned second team accolades.
Lyndon State freshman Craig Johnson became the first runner from an institution other than Maine-Farmington to win the event in six years. Johnson earned Runner of the Year and NAC Rookie of the Year after winning the NAC men's cross country championship race in a time of 29:03.
Johnson's Lyndon State teammate Lyndsey Calkins earned NAC Women's Runner of the Year after winning the race in a time of 18:52. Maine-Farmington's Melani St. Pierre finished third at the event to earn NAC Rookie of the Year, the fifth consecutive runner from Farmington to do so.
In a vote of the conference coaches, Lyndon State's Chris Ummer was honored as the NAC Men's Cross Country Coach of the Year and shared the Women's Coach of the Year award with Maine-Farmington head coach Ryan Wagner. The Castleton women's team earned the Team Sportsmanship Award and Lyndon State received recognition on the men's side.
