For the fourth consecutive season and seventh time since 2009, the Syracuse men's cross country team is the NCAA Northeast Regional Champions.

Syracuse took the win in Van Cortlandt Park in the Bronx on Friday afternoon to secure an automatic berth in the NCAA championship to attempt to defend its national title.

Justyn Knight won the individual championship, his fourth individual meet title of 2016, running away with it in 30:30.52 over 10k.

The NCAA Northeast Region championship is head coach Chris Fox's 10th regional championship since coming to Syracuse in 2005, with seven titles earned from the men's program and three from the women's program.
