2026 MXC All Conference

Men's Cross Country by Jordan King

Korthals, Weinkauf headline 2026 men's cross country awards

ST. PAUL, Minn. - Freshman Logan Korthals and coach Mark Weinkauf headlined the 2026 UMAC men's cross country all-conference teams as announced by the conference on Tuesday afternoon.

Korthals, the 2026 individual UMAC champion, was unsurprisingly named Rookie of the Year to go along with his individual title. Korthals won the race with a time of 25:47.9, which is the third-fastest time at the championships since at least 2005. It is also the second-fastest time in MLC history.

Weinkauf was named coach of the year for the first time in his seven years at the helm of the program after guiding the Knights to their first title since 2008. He has now coached 17 athletes to a total of 26 all-conference honors.

MLC's entire counting lineup finished in all-conference places. In addition to Korthals, senior Silas Ebeling and junior Eliott Heiderich were named to the first team. Ebeling finished fifth and Heiderich was sixth overall. Freshmen Thomas Moldenhauer and Andrew Holz were both named to the second team. Moldenhauer finished in ninth, one spot away from first-team recognition, while Holz finished 13th. All five counting runners ran personal-best times.

Senior Micah Vanderhoof was MLC's sportsmanship honoree.
