Men's Cross Country Wraps Up 2026 at Great Lakes Regionals

Complete Results

EAST LANSING, Mich. --
The Allegheny College men's cross country team traveled to the Mitten State on Saturday to conclude its season at the 2026 NCAA Division III Great Lakes Regional Championships.

The Gators placed 32nd overall with 935 points. Allegheny was one of three squads representing the Presidents' Athletic Conference (PAC) in the Great Lakes Region, along with Franciscan University in 22nd place and Hiram College, which did not earn a team score.

Hope College won this year's regional title as the only team to score under 100 points with 82.

Second-year standout Tyler Biss (Beaver, Pa./Beaver) led the Blue & Gold harriers once more, finishing 125th overall out of 268 competitors in 27:21.0. His eight-kilometer time was 32.5 seconds faster than his result from the PAC Championships two weeks earlier. In 2026, Biss – All-PAC Honorable Mention – led the Gators in every race.

Freshman Lukas Czegan (Greensburg, Pa./Greensburg Central Catholic ) followed with a difference of 36.2 seconds. His time of 27:57.1 earned him 159th place and was less than two seconds shy of a collegiate personal record. Freshman Samuel Gwitt (Buffalo, N.Y./Nichols) also crossed the line in the top 200, placing 189th in 28:56.3.
