NORTHFIELD, Minn. – The Carleton College men's cross country team finished second of 11 teams at the 2026 MIAC Championships.
 
This time St. Olaf won the team title with 36 points, with Carleton (88 points) edging Saint John's University (92 points) for second place. The Knights now have seven top-2 results at the last nine conference championships, including four titles during that span.

"After graduating our top three runners from last year's team, we were expected to drop in the MIAC ranks," said Carleton head coach Dave Ricks. "This year's team decided to do something about it by putting in a great summer of running. All of those miles paid off today. Newcomers Malcolm Richardson and Tai Brown had great days. Sophomore Martin Moshfeghi missed most of last year and really came on this year."
 
Junior Travis Brown (25:47.9) and Richardson (25:56.8) earned All-MIAC recognition after finishing 10th and 14th in the field of 178 runners. Moshfeghi (26:10.4) and junior Ravi Achar (26:30.3) took home All-MIAC Honorable Mention as the duo placed 19th and 24th overall, respectively. Travis Brown improved 30 places from last year's conference meet, while Achar climbed nine spots from a year ago.
 
Sophomore Dashiell Coyier (26:38.3), first-year Tai Brown (26:40.9), and senior Simon Chambers-Trubatch (26:45.6) were next across the line for the Knights, placing 30th, 33rd, and 38th, respectively.
Over the course of his career, Chambers-Trubatch moved up from 118th as a first-year to 81st to 63rd to 38th as a senior.
 
Also racing for the Knights was senior Torte Torstenson (73rd at 27:30.2), first-year Niklas Abrahamson (74th at 27:39.2), first-year Forest Andrews-Wehling (85th at 27:49.0), sophomore Max Whalen (91st at 27:57.3), and senior Ronen Silberman (29:02.9).
