NICK HALL OF COLORADO COLLEGE became the second Colorado College runner to win three individual conference titles as he led the Tigers to the 2014 SCAC men's cross country team championship.

The Tigers avenged a one-point loss to Trinity University at last year's conference meet by placing five runners in the top 11 spots for 30 team points, eight better than the Texas Tigers. 
 
Hall cruised to the individual title by covering the 8k course in 26:37, 48 seconds faster than the second-place finisher Taylor Piske of Trinity. He joins Jackson Brainerd (2009-11) as CC's only three-time conference champions. Sophomore Ryan Bing also ran an outstanding race, finishing third with a time of 27:48 as the Tigers denied Trinity its third consecutive conference title.

Hall produced an outstanding race on Saturday after an up-and-down regular season due to injuries and unforeseeable events. The two-time reigning SCAC Runner of the Year battled a nagging injury at the start of the campaign and his best finish of the season prior to Saturday was 10th place at the Rust Buster Invitational. His season also included a 78th place finish at the CC Invitational after he stopped during the race to aid a Fort Lewis runner who needed medical attention.
