COLUMBIA, Mo. – University of Missouri Cross Country Freshman Drew Rodgers has earned All-SEC Freshman Team honors, as announced by the league office on Tuesday.

The freshman followed up his first performance with a 22nd-place result at the Gans Creek Classic. He ran a  personal best at the 8k time of 24:14.8. 

Rogers finished in 25:29.2 at last week’s SEC Cross Country Championships 8k in Oxford, Miss.

Rodgers and his Tiger teammates will return to their home course as Missouri hosts the NCAA Midwest Regional at the Gans Creek Cross Country Course on Friday, November 11th.
