Yetis to Compete at Nationals
Two members of Cleveland Community College's Cross Country team will compete at the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Cross Country National Championships.
Freshman Noah Lesser (East Lincoln 2020) and Freshman Jonas Guffey (2020 Lincoln Charter) will represent the Yetis in their first ever trip to the Nationals.
The National Championship meet will be held Saturday, November 14 in Fort Dodge Iowa and hosted by Iowa Central Community College. The meet will include runners and teams from across the nation at the Division I, II, and III levels. Cleveland Community College's runners will compete as individual runners in the Division II race.
According to Yetis Coach Steve McCachren, the national meet will be a boost to the second year Cross Country program. "Attending nationals provides excellent exposure for our team," said McCachren. "This trip shows the commitment that Cleveland Community College has made to Cross Country and our athletics program. Next year, we hope to have even more runners compete at nationals"
Both Lesser and Guffey were named to the NJCAA Region 10 All Region team following the Regional Championship meet hosted by Patrick Henry Community College (Martinsville, VA). At that meet, Lesser was also named as the Region 10 Division II Runner of the Year.
