11/29/2023 1:15:00 PM | Men's Cross Country
SIOUX FALLS, SD – South Dakota State earned two Summit League cross country post season awards as Carson Noecker was named Men's Athlete of the Year and Coach Rod DeHaven was selected Men's Coach of the Year, league officials announced Wednesday.
Noecker capped off his successful freshman campaign with an individual crown at the Summit League championships to help lead the Jackrabbit men to an eighth consecutive team title. He became the first male student-athlete to be crowned Championship MVP and Newcomer of the Championship at the same league meet since the creation of the awards.
The freshman earned All-Region honors after placing 15th at the NCAA Midwest Regional where he ran a 30:50.0 in his 10k debut and accrued six top-15 finishes in six meet appearances.
He was also named Peak Performer of the Week four times throughout the season by the Summit League.
Rod DeHaven, SDSU's Director of Track and Field and Cross Country, was named the Men's Cross Country Coach of the Year for the eighth season in a row. Under his guidance, the men have captured eight consecutive league championship titles and, this season, a fifth-place team finish at the Midwest Regionals.
