LOUISVILLE, Kentucky - November 15, 2025 - The Hiram cross country teams rounded out their 2025 campaign at the NCAA Regional Championships in Louisville, a chance for the team to make a splash in one of the biggest events of the fall.

 

The men were spearheaded by Michael Crosby, while the women placed ahead of seven teams in their season finale.

 

On the men's side, Crosby led the roster with a time of 29:13.67 in the 8K race. The mark shaved off two minutes from his mark at the PAC Championships. Also running hard in the event was Cayden Jones (29:15.69), Tanner Markley (30:55.21) and Aidan Jefferson (31:54.68).

 

The women's team was spearheaded by first-year MacKenzie Norton in the 6K race (24:34.21); Norton topped her previous best time by over 40 seconds, fueling her team to a strong finish in the team standings. Elaine Guyette ranked second on the team (25:15.16) before Kylie Moser (26:01.56) and McKenzie Riley (26:12.39) both crossed the line. Taryn Trem, Kylee Neer and Hope D'Andrea also got their first taste of regional cross country action to fill out the roster.

 

Hiram will have many of its cross country student-athletes now make the transition to the track & field season, with the fall calendar officially coming to a close.
