Roberts Wesleyan Redhawks

ROCHESTER, N.Y. – The Roberts Wesleyan College men's and women's cross country programs are proud to welcome nine new athletes to campus for the 2022-23 season.

"We have a lot of untapped potential in this freshman class," said Andrew Dorr, Roberts' Director of Track and Field & Cross Country. "We have several in the class who are new to running and a few others who have had setbacks, but each has clear pathways to success in college. 

"Our program is in a rebuilding phase and the development of this incoming class will help us return to the level of success we've enjoyed over the past few years."

Both the Roberts men's and women's teams have won the last seven East Coast Conference championships.
