MEDIA, Pa. - The United East Conference has announced its All-Conference Teams and Major Award winners for Men’s Cross Country. All-Conference, which consist of three teams of nine runners each, are determined by finishes at the United East Championship which took place at Penn State Brandywine on Saturday.
Major Award Winners
Runner of the Year - Sevan Ikeda (Gallaudet University)
Rookie of the Year - Sevan Ikeda (Gallaudet University)
Coach of the Year - Ryan Foster (Penn State Berks)
It's been a banner year for Ikeda as he paced the entire field at the 2025 United East Championship. The first year runner clocked a 27:23.21 which was over 20 seconds faster than the next fastest runner. The Runner and ROokie of the Year has been strutting his stuff all season as he picked up United East Runner of the Week honors four times.
Ryan Foster led the Berks squad on a historic journey as the Nittany Lions raised their first-ever banner in the sport of Men’s Cross Country. Coming off a third year finish just a year ago, the third year coach saw all five of his scoring runners earn All-Conference honors with four coming in the top-10. Leading the way was last year’s Rookie of the Year, Trent Jordan, who placed third with a time of 27:51.18.
