Men's Cross Country

JHU's Leblond Named Runner of the Year for Third Time

Hopkins senior becomes 2nd runner in CC history to win Runner OTY thrice

LANCASTER, Pa. -- Johns Hopkins' Emmanuel Leblond three-repeated as Runner of the Year to highlight the 2025 All-Centennial Men's Cross Country Team. JHU's Anthony Clark secured Rookie of the Year honors and the Haverford coaching staff was honored by its peers as Coaching Staff of the Year. 

Leblond was named Runner of the Year for the third year in a row, becoming just the second runner in CC men's cross country history to win Runner of the Year three times along with  Haverford's Karl Paranya (1994-95-96). Leblond also garnered first team All-Centennial accolades for the fourth time in his career to become just the third runner in conference history to achieve that career milestone along with Paranya (1993-94-95-96) and Dickinson's Brian Krusell (2007-08-09-10). Leblond has put together a stellar senior season thus far, earning top-six finishes in each of the four meets in which he competed including wins at the Connecticut College Invitational and the CC meet. He secured CC Runner of the Week thrice and USTFCCCA National Runner of the Week honors twice. 

Clark was selected as the Rookie of the Year after placing second at the CC championship and being the only freshman to earn first team honors. Clark is one of just 10 freshmen in CC history to secure first team All-CC laurels with a top-seven placing at the championship. He also became the eighth Blue Jay to win Rookie of the Year in the 13-year history of the award. 

The Haverford coaching staff was named Coaching Staff of the Year by the other coaches in the conference. Head coach Matt Cohen and assistants Tom Donnelly, Chris O'Sullivan and Matt Katz helped guide the Fords to a runner-up finish at the CC meet.

Leblond and Clark were joined on the All-CC first team by teammates Kenny Wanlass, Olaf Dietz and Connor Oiler. Wanlass and Oiler repeated as first team honorees while Dietz was a second team recipient in 2024. The Haverford duo of Simon Lane and Micah Lachman finished back-to-back in fourth and fifth place, respectively, at the CC championship to earn first team recognition. Lane joined Clark as one of the 10 all-time first team freshmen in CC history. 

The second team consisted of JHU's Rowan Cassidy, Brady OttCaleb Tenney and Nash Minor, Swarthmore's Cohen Manges, Dickinson's Nathan Caldwell and McDaniel's Jack Sears. Cassidy and Manges earned all-conference honors for the third time in their careers, while Ott, Minor and Caldwell captured the second all-star nods of their careers. Sears is the first McDaniel runner to earn all-conference accolades since 2005.
