The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) recently announced the 2013 inductees for the Division III Track & Field Athlete Hall of Fame. Carleton alum Dale Kramer ’78 is one of this year’s inductees for his outstanding career as a Knight.

The Carleton College men’s cross country team posted a 3.51 cumulative grade-point average for the 2012 fall term, the seventh-best figure in the nation, and is one of 141 programs across the country recognized as an All-Academic team by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).

The season came to a close on Saturday for the Carleton College men’s cross country team as the Knights finished 12th out of 27 teams competing at the NCAA Central Region Championships. Marcus Huderle led the Knights, placing 46th individually with a time of 26:48.4.

The Carleton College men’s cross country team placed six racers in the top 50, including all-conference performer Marcus Huderle, en route to a sixth-place finish in the team competition at the MIAC Championships contested at Como Park.

This Saturday, the men’s and women’s cross country teams will compete in the MIAC Championships.  Both races will be held at the Como Park Golf Course in St. Paul, Minn.  The men will begin at 2:15 p.m., and the women will follow one hour later at 3:15 p.m.  

Marcus Huderle placed fifth overall—trailing only a quartet of NCAA Division I racers—as the Carleton College men’s cross country team finished second at the Tim Young Invitational hosted by the University of South Dakota.
