September 20, 2022 FGC Athletics Announces New Men’s Cross Country Team Share Share this post Twitter Facebook eMail Copy URL Copy LAKE CITY, Fla. – Florida Gateway College is pleased to announce the reintroduction of Men’s Cross Country to the FGC Athletics lineup. “We are very excited to bring back men’s cross country to the college,” said FGC Athletic Director Chris Hackett. “The women’s cross country team has not only been successful, but their success has been achieved with many of the student-athletes coming from the surrounding areas. We believe that we will be able to do the same thing on the men’s side, and give local runners a chance to compete at a high level, while continuing their education at FGC.” “Since revitalizing FGC Athletics in 2017, we are always looking for ways to expand the program,” said FGC President Dr. Lawrence Barrett. “Bringing in men’s cross country creates even more opportunity for our student-athletes to fulfill their potential in competition as well as in the classroom.” Men’s Cross Country was a part of the athletics program at the college (then Lake City Community College) from 1964 to 1977. With its return in 2023, it will bring the full slate of FGC intercollegiate sports teams to six, joining men’s basketball, women’s cross country, coed esports, women’s flag football, and women’s softball (starting in the 23-24 season). The search for a head coach will begin immediately. More information on FGC Men’s Cross Country will be available in the weeks and months to come. ### Previous Article Next Article
