BYU cross-country left the NCAA National Championships with a men’s second-place finish, a women’s seventh-place finish and six All-American athletes.
For the first time in the BYU men’s team history, four runners were named All-Americans in one season with Conner Mantz, Rory Linkletter, Connor McMillan and Clayson Shumway finishing in the top 40. Freshman Mantz led the Cougars – and the men’s pack for the majority of the race – with a 10th-place finish. Linkletter placed 22nd and McMillan followed in 24th. Shumway rounded out BYU’s top-40 finishers with his 32nd-place finish. This was Linkletter’s third time receiving All-America honors and McMillan’s second.
