First Year Runner Earns All Conference Recognition

standout first-year runner Gavin Sampson has been named to the YSCC Cross Country All-Conference Team after an impressive showing at the conference championship meet held at NHTI over the weekend.

Sampson placed fourth overall in the men’s 8K, capping off a remarkable debut season for the Hawks. In just his first year of collegiate competition, he established the YCCC program record in the 8K — and then broke his own record twice, ultimately lowering his time to an outstanding 27:48.

With his All-Conference recognition secured, Sampson will represent YCCC at the USCAA National Championship in Pennsylvania next weekend, where he’ll compete against top runners from across the country.
