BOURBONNAIS, Ill. -- University of St. Francis runner Tyler Anderson dominated the field at the 2025 Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference Men's Cross Country Championships and the rest of his teammates followed the junior's lead as the Fighting Saints ran away with their sixth straight league title and 10th in the past 11 years on Saturday morning.

USF scored 33 points with the Saints having four of the meet's first 10 runners cross the finish line while six of its runners secured All-Conference honors.  Head coach Trevor Howard's club totaled 11 points less than second-place finisher Olivet Nazarene University (44 points) followed by Saint Xavier University in a distant third (68).

Anderson paced the nine-team, 109-runner field with his time of 25:11.4 to earn CCAC Runner of the Year honors.  That was over nine seconds faster than his next closest challenger who completed the 6K course at Aspen Ridge Golf Course in 25:24.3.  Placing third overall was USF's Miguel Garcia at 25:24.3.

Both of those two runners claimed all-conference accolades as did Scott Crabb, Jack Wright, Alberto Fernandez Arango and Karson Shrum for finishing among the top 15 harriers in the field.  Crabb registered a time of 25:39.1 to place seventh overall, Wright was ninth (25:51.8), Fernandez-Arango was 13th (26:06.7) and Shrum 15th (26:18.9).

Manuel Soto also placed among the top 20 runners, finishing in the 17th position with his time of 26:28.7.

Howard joined the trophy parade by being recognized as the Men's Cross Country CCAC Coach of the Year for the third year in a row.
