The Wabash cross country placed third at the Manchester Hokum Karem Tuesday night to open the 2015 season.

Dr. Colin Young, a former Division III national champion, will take over the reins of the Little Giants' cross country program as its next head coach.

The Wabash College track and field and cross country programs combined to finish 11th over in the US Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Program of the Year Award standings.

Even with most of the Wabash students away from campus for the summer, members of the Little Giant coaching staff will stay busy with a number of camps and training sessions throughout June and July.

The Wabash College cross country team was recognized for its outstanding work in the classroom and in competition by the U.S. Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
