Ole Miss men’s cross country went NUTS after winning its first SEC Championship

For decades, Ole Miss’ distance running program sat in bottom-feeding purgatory. The early aughts were particularly dreary for the Rebel cross country outfits, with multiple and consecutive last-place finishes at the SEC championship meet.

That all changed on Friday, when the Ole Miss cross country men grabbing the program’s first ever SEC championship. That’s right: the distance men have finally brought home the conference hardware after years of kicking around the conference basement. Just look at how jacked up these skinny boys are.

That there is Ole Miss ace Waleed Suliman and fellow sophomore Ben Savino LOSING BOTH THEIR MINDS at the announcement that the Runnin’ Rebs had nabbed the narrow upset over perennial powerhouse Arkansas, 36-44.
