NEW ORLEANS – All-America honors for the 2020 NJCAA Division I Cross Country season were announced on Tuesday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

For an athlete to earn All-America status, they must have finished among the top-15 athletes at the 2020 NJCAA Division I Cross Country Championships this past weekend in Fort Dodge, Iowa, and belong to a USTFCCCA member program.

National champions Iowa Central CC (men) and Ranger College (women) led the way with three All-America selections each. The Tritons had the individual champion in Kelvin Bungei as well as Pur Biel and Hunter Klimek in 13^th and 14^th place; Jessica Thomas-Billot led the Lady Rangers in eighth place individually, with Natai Mireles and Alexa Reyes not far behind in 12^th and 13^th, respectively.

Overall, there were 10 different men’s programs that earned at least one All-America honor, while eight different women’s programs could claim the same.
