PITMAN, N.J. – With a dominant performance in the NJAC Championship, the TCNJ men's cross country team swept the conference's major awards while naming seven runners to the all-NJAC teams.
 
Brandon Chen, the program's first individual champion since 2019, was named Runner of the Year. Josh Santiago led all freshmen with his finish over the weekend, garnering Rookie of the Year honors.

Finally, fellow sophomore Moksh Patwari finished in 7^th to get his first career All-NJAC honor as well.
