he 2015 season saw the West Texas A&M men’s cross country team earn their third-straight trip to the NCAA Championships, where they finished 18th on a cold, windy day in Joplin, Mo. Geoffrey Kipchumba became the first Buff to earn All-American honors in program history finishing 20th while the team finished 18th with 440 points.

The men’s team became just the second team in LSC history to win three-straight team titles led by individual champion Kipchumba and Newcomer of the Year Blake Whalen. Jamie Taylor-Caldwell, Tyson Wieland and Zach Daniel all earned All-Conference honors.

The Lady Buffs finished seventh at the LSC meet led by the 21st place finish of Sierra Spinler.

All-American Geoffrey Kipchumba was named LSC Runner of the Year after earning All-South Central honors for the second consecutive year while Whalen also earned All-Region honors finishing 13th.

The Lady Buffs relied heavily on underclassmen during the fall of 2015. Sierra Spinler and Chloe Smith finshed as the top runner for five of the six meets during the season while Stephanie Ovalle was the top finisher for WT at Regionals.

The Buffs earned USTFCCCA All-Academic Accolades as Daniel was named to the LSC All-Academic and CoSIDA Academic All-American teams.
