Cross Country
Cross Country began at HCC in 1972. HCC produced a varsity team program from 1972-1977. From 1977 to the mid 1980's, HCC only had individual competitors. Starting in 2006-07 Cross Country has been resurrected as a varsity team program.
The team participates in invitational meets during the season, prior to the National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Championship meet. HCC hosted the 2011, 2015, 2017, 2018 and 2019 NJCAA National Championships where teams from throughout the country competed. The HCC Cross Country team practices daily and takes advantage of the close proximity of both Ashley and Whiting reservoirs, plus the scenic campuses of both HCC and Mount Holyoke College for training runs.
