February 4, 2026 - - Six members of the Lorain County Community College men's cross country team placed on the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) All-Academic Team. The award recognizes their excellence in the classroom during the fall semester of 2025.

Braydon Dobos (Oberlin, Ohio/Oberlin HS), Brady Hurst (LaGrange, Ohio/Keystone HS), Mitchell Jackson (Elyria, Ohio/Elyria HS), Braylon Miller (LaGrange, Ohio/Keystone HS), Jared Robinson (Grafton, Ohio/Midview HS), and Tanner Sweene (Lorain, Ohio/Hearts for Jesus Christ) each earned the prestigious honor.

The recognition comes on the heels of a strong 2025 season for the Commodores.  LCCC capped its campaign with a seventh-place finish at the NJCAA Division III National Championships in Fort Dodge, Iowa.  Competing in near-freezing temperatures and blizzard conditions, the Commodores battled through one of the toughest race environments of the year to secure a top-10 national finish for the sixth time under head coach Jim Powers.

Robinson led LCCC at nationals with a 17th-place finish in 28:52.2 over the 8-kilometer course.  Hurst, Sweene and Jackson also competed in the championship race, helping anchor the team's top-seven finish against a 14-team field.
