LANCASTER, PA – Following its fourth consecutive Centennial Conference Championship, the Johns Hopkins men's cross country team had several athletes garner All-Conference recognition. Emmanuel Leblond and Anthony Clark headlined the awards after being named the Cross Country Athlete and Rookie of the Year.
 
Leblond was crowned Cross Country Athlete of the Year after grabbing his third consecutive individual title as he crossed in 24:13.70 - the fastest 8K time in conference championship history. The senior became just the second three-time individual champion in league history, joining Haverford's Karl Paranya as the only athletes to accomplish this feat.
 
Clark was named the Cross Country Rookie of the Year after grabbing silver with a time of 24:22.40 to finish behind only teammate Leblond. He was one of just three freshmen to finish in the top 10 with Clark's runner-up finish the highest by a freshman in league history. Additionally, he became just the ninth freshman in conference history to earn first team accolades.
 
In total, the Blue Jays had five All-Conference First Team Selections: Leblond (1^st | 24:13.70), Clark (2^nd | 24:22.40), Kenny Wanlass (3^rd | 24:27.20), Olaf Dietz (6^th | 24:36.70) and Connor Oiler (7^th | 24:41.50).
