I am extremely blessed to announce my commitment to further my career as a student-athlete at the US Naval Academy. I would like to thank all of my coaches, teammates, and family members for supporting me and pushing me to be the person I am today. #gonavy @NCRunners @akxctf

Senior runner Gabe Cherniss makes every effort to PR including a 18:47 on October 12th. He’s also the voice of AK women’s softball. He is taking his love of sports and broadcasting to Arizona State’s Cronkite School of Journalism in the fall. #AKXCSeniorSpotlight @AKSportsInfo

2 yrs of football & XC+4 yrs of track+an AP comp sci/engineering focus in the classroom has set Zach Eaker up to excel as a comp sci/engineering major next fall! Sub-18 in 1st HS 5K & running the Wingfoot Classic are tops on Zach's AKXCmemories. #AKXCSeniorSpotlight @AKSportsInfo

4 year runner Nate David joined XC as a freshman. Now he’s almost 4 min faster w/5K PR of 16:44. Thanks to the ACE program Nate will study architecture next fall in college. He is excited but knows he’ll miss AKXC - especially overnight trips! #AKXCSeniorSpotlight @AKSportsInfo

4 year letterman Steven Sobus’ senior year is the best yet w/a recent 16:08 PR. The freshman wing challenge in 2016 & the Wingfoot Classic in 2019 are top AKXC memories. Next fall Steven hopes to major in civil engineering. #AKXCSeniorSpotlight @AKSportsInfo

4 yr senior runner & wrestler, Eagle Scout & small business owner Cole Hepler’s 5K improved by >4 min w/AKXC. An injury ended his season but hopefully he’ll be cheering on his team & brother at conference. He plans to study business in college. #AKXCSeniorSpotlight @AKSportsInfo

In his 3rd season Rishi Ghosh keeps improving:PR-19:02. Breaking 20 in 2017 @ Hare & Hounds+running Friday Night Lights/Kernersville are great memories. He'll major in aerospace or mechanical engineering thanks to a great exp w/AK engineering. #AKXCSeniorSpotlight @AKSportsInfo
