Men’s Cross Country Welcomes Two from Class of 2028

2024 SUFFOLK MEN'S CROSS COUNTRY ROSTER

BOSTON – For the second straight season, Suffolk men's cross country head coach Will Feldman brought in a pair of true freshmen in Declan Shannon and Sebastian Vickers-Richard to compliment his veteran-heavy roster. 

"We're excited to have two terrific first year athletes join us this year," Feldman said. "It's a tough year for first years to attempt to break into the top 8 and make a meaningful contribution. We're fortunate to have a very deep, and experienced team, but I know both Declan and Sebastian are more than capable of stepping up." 

The pair joins an experienced group of Rams that features Tim Barry, the second-ever runner in program history to run at NCAAs, as well as all-conference honorees Thomas Novy and Hayden Green, who have led the blue-and-gold to runner-up finishes at the last three conference championships.  

With the combination of experience and newcomers of Shannon and Vickers-Richard, Suffolk looks to claim the Conference of New England (CNE) crown this year.  

The 2024 action gets underway Saturday, Aug. 31 at the 10th Annual Wheaton & Babson Season-Opener at Highland Park in Attleboro, Massachusetts.
