For the first time ever, UC Santa Cruz has a Men’s Cross Country team. They are having a successful first year and are in contention to compete for a DIII National Championship.

UC Santa Cruz has a star cross-country runner on its campus. Haven’t heard of him? It’s not Tyler Hoyt’s fault. The freshman has continued to work and train, cutting seconds off his 5K, despite the fact that there is no male D-III cross-country team. At least, not yet.
