Paramus, NJ – Bergen Community College's Men's Cross Country team is full with high expectations after last year's 2015 Region XIX Championship Title. The team is looking to continue to build and repeat last year's championship run.
Returns from last year's team include Connor McGillick (Saddle Brook, NJ), Profirio Olivas (Garfield, NJ), Isaiah Peller (Englewood, NJ) and Daniel Silver (Fair Lawn, NJ). They bring experience after winning the the region title and competing at nationals last year.
