The Colby-Sawyer men's cross country team secured its fourth straight runner-up finish at the North Atlantic Conference (NAC) championship.

The men's team saw its top five finishers place in the top-26 of the NAC Championship.

Senior Ben Bunnell (Barnet, Vt.) placed fourth with a time of 27:36.30 to lead the Chargers. Junior Brandon Legendre (Waterford, Vt.) was the second Charger to cross the finish line in 11th at 28:26.68. Sophomore Kody Frye (Keene, N.H.) was close behind in 17th at 28:51.30, while junior Travis Yandow (Fairfax, Vt.) clocked in at 28:58.21 to place 20th. In his first NAC Championship race, freshman Bruin Smith (Cohoes, N.Y.) turned in a solid performance with a 26th place finish in 29:17.29 to round out the Chargers' top five.

Bunnell was named to the All-NAC First Team, while Legendre was named to the All-NAC Second Team. Senior DJ Ayotte (East Kingston, N.H.) was selected to the All-NAC Sportsmanship Team.

Bunnell, who earned his second straight nod to the All-NAC First Team, earned four NAC Runner of the Week honors during the season. He placed in the top-6 of four races in 2015, including a win at New England College in early September in which he finished with a 5k school record time of 16:15. The next week, Bunnell set a program record in the 8k at UMass Dartmouth with a time of 25:29.38.

Smith earned a NAC Rookie of the Week award for his efforts at the James Early Invitational hosted by Westfield State on October 10.

The Colby-Sawyer men's and women's teams were the top finishers of competing NAC teams at the NCAA Regional's hosted by Connecticut College.
