SRJC Men's Cross Country team looks to build off the momentum of last year's season in an attempt to break into the top 10 in the state. After a successful recruiting season, Coach Wellman is excited about the prospects of the upcoming season. "We worked hard last year to bring in some top freshmen from the area," said Coach Wellman. "We're only in preseason training, and you can already tell the intensity and effort has been elevated by the injection of new blood."

This year, the Bear Cubs bring in 10 freshmen from six Sonoma County schools. This outstanding recruiting class includes:
