MSOE senior Sam McPeak won the men's individual title at the 2026 NACC Cross Country Championships with a time of 25:05.3. He was near the front of a tight lead pack after the first mile. At that point, he and Concordia Wisconsin's Isaiah Lubner broke out from the pack. The pair held a six-second lead at the 4.5-kilometer mark. McPeak then used the final 3.5 kilometers to put some distance between himself and the field, while Lubner fell back into the clutches of a charging Nolan Pinion of MSOE. McPeak's victory gave MSOE its fifth individual champion overall, and its third in the last five years.
