2023 NAIA Cross Country All-America

NEW ORLEANS – All-America honors for the 2023 NAIA Cross Country season were announced on Monday by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

Athletes from member institutions earned All-America recognition by finishing among the top-40 athletes in their gender’s respective races this past weekend at the 2023 NAIA Cross Country Championships in Vancouver, Washington.

The Milligan (Tenn.) men regained the national title they last won in 2021 and the College of Idaho women earned a first-ever team title. Not surprisingly, both programs were among each gender’s list of most honorees.

The Buffaloes had four men’s All-America honors: Bryn Woodall (sixth), Aaron Jones (seventh), Will Stockley (ninth) and Bryson Lewis (30th).

Runner-up Saint Mary (Kan.) and third-place Cumberlands (Ky.) tied for the most men’s honors with five. The Spires were led by Emad Bashir-Mohammed (third), who was joined by Dominick Beine (19th), Ryan Heline (25th), Chris Metz (26th) and Brig Merritt (34th). The Patriots were led by Serhii Chevchenko (fifth), who was joined by Cornelius Kipkogei (16th), Luca Santorum (27th), Collins Kipkosquei Rop (36th) and Luca Madeo (40th).

In the women’s race, runner-up The Master’s (Calif.) had the most honorees with five led by Hannah Fredericks (10th) and joined by Suzie Johnston (13th), Ellen Palmgren (17th), Rebekah Niednagel (23rd) and Emma Nelson (4th).

College of Idaho and Saint Mary (Kan.) had the next most All-Americans with four each. The champion Yotes were led by Ellyse Tingelstad (second) and joined by three other top-10 finishers in Sage Martin (third), Abbey Shirts (fifth) and Kahea Figueira (seventh). The third-place Spires were led by Reagen Hiebert (sixth) and joined by Kate Madsen (22nd), Riley Hiebert (24th) and Maddy Walter-Sherretts (32nd).

Combining men’s and women’s programs, Saint Mary captured a total of nine All-America honors.
