Sport Shorts Spotlight: MIT Cross Country Sweeps NEWMAC Championships, Extends Historic Title Streaks
 

The No. 10 MIT men's and No. 9 women's cross country teams continued their dominance at the 2026 NEWMAC Championships, sweeping the team titles on Saturday at Smith College. The men captured their 28th consecutive conference championship with 25 points, placing five runners between third and seventh, led by Renne Cooper's third-place finish (24:52). The Engineers showcased their depth with nine runners finishing in the top 13, including a remarkable 19-second spread between their top five finishers. On the women's side, MIT secured its 19th straight and 21st overall NEWMAC title with just 19 points, led by Liv Girand, who claimed the individual championship in 22:17.6, followed by runner-up Jordan Lacsamana (22:29). The women placed five runners in the top seven and 12 in the top 24, while both teams earned nine All-Conference selections apiece. MIT will look to carry its momentum into the NCAA Division III East Regional Championships on November 14 in South Portland, Maine.
