Are you ready to become the next Raider and join our XC/TF family?! 
Meet this Raider:

Student-Athlete: Alex Almer
Class of 2022
Hometown: Jonestown, Pennsylvania 
Event Group: Distance
Major: Geography

We asked Alex “Why did you choose Colgate XC/TF?” Check out his response!

“I chose Colgate XCTF because I found that I really loved distance running in high school and wanted to continue it in college. I knew that my coaches and teammates would be welcoming, but that they would also push me to become the best runner I could be, and I wanted to be part of that. Colgate has an exceptional combination of academic and athletic quality, and I knew that joining the XCTF team here would push me to become not just a better runner, but a better student and a better person too.” #colgatexctf #colgate #colgateuniversity #colgateathletics #gogate #trackandfield #crosscountry #distancesquad  #patriotleague #ncaatf #ncaaxc #ncaadivision1 #meetthisraider
