The Ohio Athletic Conference has honored 32 John Carroll University fall student-athletes as 2018 Academic All-OAC recipients.

The Ohio Athletic Conference has honored 32 John Carroll University fall student-athletes as 2018 Academic All-OAC recipients.

John Carroll wrapped up its 2018 campaign with a pair of strong individual performances at the NCAA Division III Championships Saturday afternoon in Wisconsin.

At the very beginning of the NCAA Division III Cross Country Championships, John Carroll University was a fixture. From 1974-1978, the Blue Streaks qualified a men's team three times and had individuals make the field when the team did not.

Junior Kyle Monahan and freshman Cameron Bujaucius will give John Carroll University one representative in each race as both have qualified for the 2018 NCAA Division III men's and women's cross country championships.

John Carroll had three runners earn top four finishes, leading the Blue Streaks to a sixth place finish at the 2018 NCAA Division III Great Lakes Regional Championships held at Blue River Park in Shelbyville, Indiana.

With eight runners among the top 30 finishers, John Carroll would have beaten most teams and most days.

In the preseason, John Carroll was selected as the favorite to win the 2018 Ohio Athletic Conference Championships.

Now, on the eve of that championship meet, the Blue Streaks are primed to live up to that prognostication.

The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced that the John Carroll men's cross country team has been ranked 32nd in the NCAA Division III Men's Cross Country National Coaches' Poll.

It did not matter whether John Carroll had ten of its runners at one meet in New Jersey or another nine at a meet in Ohio. Splitting the squads still yielded two top ten finishes in a pair of regional meets for the Blue Streaks.
