SFCC cross country ranked 17 in NJCAA poll

In its inaugural season, the State Fair Community College (SFCC) Roadrunners Cross Country team has earned its first national ranking, with the 17th rank in the second NJCAA Division II Men's Cross Country National Coaches' Poll.

Roadrunners Cross Country Head Coach Brad Hagedorn is pleased with what his team has been able to accomplish so far, but he believes there's still more work to do.

"It is certainly exciting to see our school recognized as one of the best in the country. It will help us show recruits how much our current athletes have improved in the short time they have been here," said Hagedorn. "Our goal has been and will continue to be to finish in the top 10 at the National Championships. We have a lot of work to continue to do to achieve that goal. I have no doubt that our kids are up to the task."

The Roadrunners will return to action at the Chile Pepper Cross Country Festival in Fayetteville, Arkansas on Saturday, Oct. 2.
