FORT DODGE, Iowa – For the past two seasons the trio of&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/mxc/2025-26/bios/kogo_cornelius_a3hy">Cornelius Kogo</a>,&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/mxc/2025-26/bios/kiprotich_titus_yvcm">Titus Kiprotich</a>&nbsp;and Dennis Cheriuyot have taken the Hutchinson Community College men's cross country team to new heights.

On a snowy Saturday at Lakeside Golf Course, that trio once again lifted the Blue Dragons to a level never achieved.

The 2025 Blue Dragons earned their best finish in NJCAA National Cross Country Championship history, finishing as the national runner-up. Last season, the Blue Dragons tied the best finish in team history of third place.

Within that team accomplishment, Kogo became the second Blue Dragon men's runner to win an individual national championship. Kiprotich was the national runner-up and Cheruiyot was seventh to lead the Blue Dragons.

Hutchinson was edged by Iowa Central for the team national championship 58-69. Region 6 rival Butler was third with 144 points.

The 11-points that separated the Blue Dragons and Tritons were closer than the final standings appeared.

Iowa Central had a two-point lead over Hutchinson at the 5K split, but at the 6K split, the Blue Dragons led by three points. That Blue Dragon lead grew to nine points at the 7K split. Iowa Central's No 4 and 5 runners made big moves in the final 1,000 meters despite Hutchinson's No. 4 and 5 runners&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/mxc/2025-26/bios/ortega_esteban_lfb9">Esteban Ortega</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/mxc/2025-26/bios/mangelson_farrin_731i">Farrin Mangelson</a>&nbsp;running better splits in the final 1K than they did at the 6K and 7K splits.

When the race began at Noon Saturday, about one inch of snow was on the ground and there was moderate snow falling with a race-start temperature of 28 degrees.

The inclement weather didn't affect what became a 1-2 battle between Kogo and Kiprotich for the race lead.

At the 4K split, Kiprotich led Kogo by 11.3 seconds. Kogo then started to trim that deficit, cutting Kiprotich's lead to 8.8 seconds at the 5K split and 5.6 seconds at the 6K split. Within the 6K-to-7K segment, Kogo assumed the lead and went on to win the national championship by 8 full seconds over his teammate.

Kogo ran a national championship time of 24:54.7. He is the first Blue Dragon to win the NJCAA individual national championship since Andrew Kibet in 2018. Kogo earned NJCAA All-America honors after earning NJCAA Coaches Association honors in 2024 after placing 21st.

👟 Kogo wins national title; Dragons are NJCAA cross country runner-up

FORT DODGE, Iowa – Not even a couple of inches of snow and sub-freezing temperatures could stop Hutchinson Community College's&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/wxc/2025-26/bios/roni_mildred_mud8">Mildred Rono</a>.

The Blue Dragon freshman completed an incredible first collegiate season by becoming the first Hutchinson women's cross country runner to win the NJCAA Division I individual national championship on Saturday at Lakeside Golf Course.

Rono, along with freshmen&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/wxc/2025-26/bios/frater_ashara_sw1a">Ashara Frater</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/wxc/2025-26/bios/lovett_mali_ugil">Mali Lovett</a>, all placed in the Top 20 to lead the fifth-ranked Blue Dragon women to a third-place team finish, Hutchinson's best Division I finish in team history – The Dragons won a Division II national championship in 2001.

Odessa rolled to a team title with 54 points. Iowa Western was second with 127 points and the Blue Dragons were third with 141 points.

This was the Hutchinson women's fourth-straight Top 10 national finish. The Dragons placed fourth in 2022, 10th in 2023 and sixth in 2024.

When Rono and the Blue Dragons woke up Saturday morning, snow flakes were flying. By the time the race started at 1 p.m. Saturday, moderate snow was falling with 2 inches already on the ground and the temperature when the gun was fired was 29 degrees.

That didn't matter to Rono, who was locked in an early dual with Iowa Western's Juliana Sakat, the only runner to beat Rono this season – doing so by 1.1 seconds at the FHSU Tiger Open on October 18.

That dual quickly turned into a Rono rout as the Blue Dragon freshman won the national championship with a time of 17:11.1, defeating Sakat by 41.2 seconds.

Rono and Sakat were virtually tied at the 1K mark with Rono leading by 0.2 seconds. At 2,000 meters, Rono led by 2.2 seconds, and then Rono broke away. Her lead grew to 15.5 seconds at the 3K mark, 31.7 seconds at the 4K split and eventually 41.2 seconds at the finish line.

Rono's national championship time was the best time by a Blue Dragon runner in an NJCAA National Championship event.

During her freshman season at Hutchinson, Rono achieved the following:

+ The NJCAA championship was her fourth race win of the season, which is a school record for a season and career;

+ She set the Blue Dragon 5K record twice this season;

+ Rono's average margin of victory in her four race wins has been 34.2 seconds;

+ She won both the Region 6 and Jayhawk West championships;

+ She was a four-time KJCCC Runner of the Week and two-time NJCAA National Runner of the Week.

Frater earned NJCAA All-America honors with a seventh-place finish on Saturday. Frater ran a time of 18:40.3, posting the fourth-fastest Blue Dragon time at an NJCAA National Championship.

Rono and Frater are the 12th and 13th NJCAA All-Americans in program history. The Dragons have had four runners earn All-America status since 2020.

Lovett earned NJCAA Coaches' All-America honors with a 17th-place performance. Her time of 19:07.8 was the seventh-fastest Blue Dragon time in Hutchinson national championship history.

KANSAS CITY, Kansas – The No. 19-ranked Hutchinson Community College women's soccer team dug a three-goal hole in the opening half of its Region 6 Tournament championship game on Saturday and wasn't able to dig out.

The No. 7-ranked ranked and tournament top-seed Cowley Tigers repeated as Region 6 Champions after a 3-0 victory over the second-seeded Blue Dragons at the KCK Soccer Complex on the campus of Kansas City, Kansas, Community College.

The loss snapped an 11-game unbeaten streak for the Blue Dragons (13-3-4). The official pairings for the NJCAA Division I women's soccer championship will be announced early next week and the Dragons hold hopes for an at-large bid.

Cowley's speed defensively make it difficult for the Blue Dragons to sustain any offensive attack. That's not to say the Dragons didn't have any offensive chances.

Hutchinson didn't record its first official shot on goal until the 73rd minute. But&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/wsoc/2025-26/bios/simpson_bessie_i938">Bessie Simpson</a>&nbsp;had a shot off the cross bar and&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/wsoc/2025-26/bios/tamaki_olivia_seh8">Olivia Tamaki</a>&nbsp;hit one off the left post early in the second half. The Dragons weren't able to get shots off on several loose balls in front of the goal.

After Blue Dragon starting goalkeeper&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/wsoc/2025-26/bios/carvell_evie_w1nf">Evie Carvell</a>&nbsp;left the game because of an injury just six minutes into the game, Cowley struck for three goals in the first half.

Louyse Cristine scored in the 14th minute, Sara Cortes scored in the 22nd minute and Sophie Knaab scored in the 33rd minute.

Blue Dragon back-up goalkeeper&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/wsoc/2025-26/bios/loague_rylee_ayt8">Rylee Loague</a>&nbsp;(3-1-0) had a season-high six saves.

GAME NOTES – The Blue Dragons have a 28-21 all-time postseason record, including 27-18 in the Region 6 Tournament. … Making their eighth championship game appearance, the Dragons are 3-5 in the title game. … Hutchinson is now 15-8-4 all-time against Cowley, 0-2 in the Region 6 Tournament.

🏐 Blue Dragon season ends in Region VI semifinals

By&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/author/doug-feinberg">DOUG FEINBERG</a>

The NCAA revoked the eligibility of six men’s college basketball players&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/ncaa-basketball-sports-betting-a30eaa5f0ec65c4638a8cd01a10842b2">for allegations of sports betting</a>&nbsp;on Friday in three separate cases at New Orleans, Mississippi Valley and Arizona State.

The NCAA Committee on Infractions released findings from an investigation that concluded Cedquavious Hunter, Dyquavian Short, Jamond Vincent, Donovan Sanders, Alvin Stredic and Chatton “BJ” Freeman either manipulated their performances to lose games, not cover bet lines or ensure certain prop bets were reached, or provided information that enabled others to do so during the 2024-25 regular season.

The development comes as the sporting world contends with mounting scrutiny over betting. Nearly three dozen people were arrested last month,&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/nba-betting-arrests-rozier-billups-6e39ab0b6b82c3c872e17c3b9cfbc604">including an NBA player and coach</a>, for what federal law enforcement officials described as their involvement in various illicit gambling activities. Just this week, UFC President and CEO Dana White said he was in touch with the FBI regarding a match that involved unusual betting patterns.

For its part, the NCAA said last month it was investigating at least 30 current or former players for gambling allegations. The NCAA also banned&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/gambling-ncaa-fresno-state-san-jose-state-79cb4a2a1f9f23a2cb22902a9694aca1">three college basketball players</a>&nbsp;in September for betting on their own games at Fresno State and San Jose State.

The violations at New Orleans against Hunter, Short and Vincent came to light after the NCAA received a tip about game manipulation. The NCAA said a student-athlete overheard the three players discuss a third party placing a bet on their game against McNeese State on Dec. 28, 2024. New Orleans lost 86-61.

That same student-athlete reported that during a timeout near the end of the game, Short instructed him not to score any more points. New Orleans suspended all three student-athletes for the remainder of the season while it investigated the allegations.

The NCAA investigation showed that the three players manipulated their performances in seven games from December through January to lose by more points than the spread for that game.

The violations against Freeman were uncovered when the NCAA reviewed text messages involving Mykell Robinson, who played at Fresno State. Records on Robinson’s phone indicated that on four separate occasions between November and December 2024, Freeman knowingly provided information to Robinson, who was betting on Freeman through daily fantasy sports accounts.

Freeman also knowingly provided information on at least two occasions to his then-girlfriend, who was also betting on Freeman.

The NCAA reached out to an integrity monitoring service to review Mississippi Valley games after a related, but separate NBA&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/nba-betting-prop-terry-rozier-bf290e76f66d4ff2c2aaf653ecb76b1e">gambling ring</a>&nbsp;that was uncovered earlier this year showed potential ties to college basketball, including the school.

The service indicated betting trends for the Mississippi Valley games on Jan. 6 against Alabama A&amp;M were suspicious. Mississippi Valley lost 79-67.

During an interview with the NCAA, a men’s basketball student-athlete said that before the team’s Dec. 21, 2024, game, he overhead Sanders on the phone with an unknown third party talking about “throwing the game.”

Sanders asked the student-athlete to participate in the call because the third party had told Sanders the individual intended to bet on the game and wanted to know that another of Sanders’ teammates would participate in the scheme.

The student-athlete denied altering his performance or receiving money from Sanders or any other individuals. Sanders texted the same student-athlete after that game and told him to delete their messages.

During a second interview, Sanders could not explain the student-athlete’s account of the events or the text messages. He did say, however, that he and Stredic were offered money to throw the team’s Jan. 6 game by another anonymous caller, who instructed them to perform poorly in the first half.

The enforcement staff demonstrated that Sanders knowingly provided information to a third party for the purposes of sports betting for two games and Stredic did the same for one game.

This all comes in the wake of the NCAA potentially allowing student athletes and staff to bet on professional sports. It was originally approved by all three Divisions and was set to go into effect on Nov. 1, but late last month the Division I Board voted to delay the start date until Nov. 22.

A rarely used rule allows 30 days for each Division I school to vote to rescind a proposal if it is adopted by less than 75% of the Division I cabinet. Even if the rule passes, no college sports are allowed to be bet on by players.

HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A strong first-half performance helped the No. 13-ranked Hutchinson Community College women’s basketball team rebound from its first loss of the season with a 78-61 victory over Neosho County on Saturday in the BSN Sports Tipoff Classic at the Hutchinson Sports Arena.

After falling to NEO A&amp;M on Friday, the Blue Dragons (3-1) responded by outscoring the Panthers 46-34 in the first half and putting together a dominant 22-6 third quarter to take full control.

Freshman KaMyra Barber led Hutchinson with 15 points and nine rebounds. Sophomore Noelle Anthon added 13 points on 6 of 7 shooting and grabbed six rebounds. Freshman Whitney Brown finished with 13 points and a team-high four assists and four steals. Sophomore Katie Duncan chipped in 10 points and three assists.

Hutchinson shot 39.4 percent from the field and held a 54-46 advantage on the boards while assisting on 20 of its 26 made field goals.

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) — Quincy Craig scored his second touchdown of the game on a 24-yard run with 39 seconds left in regulation and Arizona rallied to beat Kansas 24-20 on Saturday.

Coming off&nbsp;a blowout win over Colorado, the Wildcats (6-3, 3-3 Big 12) had a hard time moving the ball against a defense that entered the game ranked 12th in the Big 12.

Noah Fifita threw an early touchdown pass, but was sacked five times and nearly had three passes intercepted before rallying Arizona to become bowl eligible.

“We knew it was going to be an incredible battle and our players kept responding,” Arizona coach Brent Brennan said. “They kept responding and responding. ... I know it wasn't perfect, but we'll fix that.”

After Kansas' Laith Marjan pushed a 30-yard field goal wide right — his first miss in 15 attempts this season — the Wildcats took over at their own 20 with 2:39 left. Arizona moved quickly down the field and Craig burst through a big hole up the middle for the go-ahead score.

"That was definitely one of my favorite touchdowns I’ve experienced," said Craig, who had 47 yards rushing on three carries.

The Jayhawks (5-5, 3-4) controlled Arizona's offense for most of the game, holding the Wildcats to 323 total yards — nearly 100 yards below their season average. They also held Fifita to 158 yards and two touchdowns on 16-of-31 passing.

Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels threw for 199 yards and a touchdown, adding 74 yards and another score rushing. His desperation attempt bounded out of the end zone as time expired.

“We were able to throw a very accurate quarterback really out of rhythm there for a while,” Kansas coach Lance Leipold said. “But they made the plays down the stretch.”

Fifita showed off his dual-threat skill set on Arizona's second drive, breaking off a 19-yard run — his longest of the season — and floating a 16-yard touchdown pass to tight end Sam Olson just as he got hit.

Daniels took his two-way turn on the Jayhawks' next two drives. He scored on a 1-yard keeper set up by a 14-yard run, then hit Emmanuel Henderson Jr. in stride for a 24-yard touchdown.

Kansas appeared to be headed to a 24-7 halftime lead when Leroy Harris III returned an interception 77 yards for a touchdown. Instead, it came back when cornerback Jalen Todd was called for holding away from the play.

Craig scored on an 8-yard touchdown two plays later by reaching the ball to the pylon, pulling Arizona within 17-14 at halftime.

The defenses took over in the second half.

Kansas had one interception overturned upon review and Syeed Gibbs had another potential pick pass through his hands.

Leipold was inclined to go for it on fourth-and-2 in Arizona's 11 with a three-point lead in the closing minutes.

The officials called an injury timeout for Daniels, who was hurt on the previous play, so he couldn't go back in even if Kansas called a timeout. Leipold opted to go for a field goal and a six-point lead, but Marjan missed his first kick of the season.

“We just felt putting one of the other guys in that situation, it was better to kick the field goal," Leipold said. "I understand that's one that could be scrutinized.”

(AP) — Quincy Craig scored his second touchdown of the game on a 24-yard run with 39 seconds left in regulation and Arizona rallied to beat Kansas 24-20 on Saturday.Coming off&nbsp;<a href="https://apnews.com/article/arizona-colorado-football-score-b8f3447b44b76f3f06f7ed30c0214357">a blowout win over Colorado</a>, the Wildcats (6-3, 3-3 Big 12) had a hard time moving the ball against a defense that entered the game ranked 12th in the Big 12.Noah Fifita threw an early touchdown pass, but was sacked five times and nearly had three passes intercepted before rallying Arizona to become bowl eligible.“We knew it was going to be an incredible battle and our players kept responding,” Arizona coach Brent Brennan said. “They kept responding and responding. ... I know it wasn't perfect, but we'll fix that.”After Kansas' Laith Marjan pushed a 30-yard field goal wide right — his first miss in 15 attempts this season — the Wildcats took over at their own 20 with 2:39 left. Arizona moved quickly down the field and Craig burst through a big hole up the middle for the go-ahead score."That was definitely one of my favorite touchdowns I’ve experienced," said Craig, who had 47 yards rushing on three carries.The Jayhawks (5-5, 3-4) controlled Arizona's offense for most of the game, holding the Wildcats to 323 total yards — nearly 100 yards below their season average. They also held Fifita to 158 yards and two touchdowns on 16-of-31 passing.Kansas quarterback Jalon Daniels threw for 199 yards and a touchdown, adding 74 yards and another score rushing. His desperation attempt bounded out of the end zone as time expired.“We were able to throw a very accurate quarterback really out of rhythm there for a while,” Kansas coach Lance Leipold said. “But they made the plays down the stretch.”Fifita showed off his dual-threat skill set on Arizona's second drive, breaking off a 19-yard run — his longest of the season — and floating a 16-yard touchdown pass to tight end Sam Olson just as he got hit.Daniels took his two-way turn on the Jayhawks' next two drives. He scored on a 1-yard keeper set up by a 14-yard run, then hit Emmanuel Henderson Jr. in stride for a 24-yard touchdown.Kansas appeared to be headed to a 24-7 halftime lead when Leroy Harris III returned an interception 77 yards for a touchdown. Instead, it came back when cornerback Jalen Todd was called for holding away from the play.Craig scored on an 8-yard touchdown two plays later by reaching the ball to the pylon, pulling Arizona within 17-14 at halftime.The defenses took over in the second half.Kansas had one interception overturned upon review and Syeed Gibbs had another potential pick pass through his hands.<h2>No chance to go</h2>Leipold was inclined to go for it on fourth-and-2 in Arizona's 11 with a three-point lead in the closing minutes.The officials called an injury timeout for Daniels, who was hurt on the previous play, so he couldn't go back in even if Kansas called a timeout. Leipold opted to go for a field goal and a six-point lead, but Marjan missed his first kick of the season.“We just felt putting one of the other guys in that situation, it was better to kick the field goal," Leipold said. "I understand that's one that could be scrutinized.”<h2>Takeaways</h2>Kansas: The Jayhawks were solid defensively most of the afternoon, but couldn't stop Arizona when it counted.Arizona: The Wildcats seemed stuck in the desert sand most of the second half before Fifita rallied the Wildcats to to win a close game after two last-second losses earlier in the season.<h2>Up next</h2>Kansas plays at Iowa State on Nov. 22.

FORT DODGE, Iowa – After every race this season, the results the Hutchinson Community College cross country teams produced made third-year head coach Jafet Molinares think about what could be in 2025.

Molinares' season-long questions will be answered Saturday as the No. 2-ranked Blue Dragon men's cross country team and fifth-ranked women's cross country teams will run in the 2025 NJCAA Division I National Championships.

The championships will be contested at Lakeside Golf Course in Fort Dodge, Iowa. The men's Division I 8K race begins at Noon and the Division I women's 5A race begins at 1 p.m.

On Friday night at the NJCAA Cross Country banquet, Blue Dragon sophomore&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/mxc/2025-26/bios/kogo_cornelius_a3hy">Cornelius Kogo</a>&nbsp;was named the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USFTCCCA) men's Central District Runner of the Year. Blue Dragon freshman Mildred Rono was named the Central District Women's Runner of the Year.

Both Kogo and Rono won their respective Region 6 championships two weeks ago in Colby and led both Blue Dragon teams to regional team championships.

The top five teams in the final USTFCCCA/NJCAA Division I national rankings had Iowa Western, Hutchinson, Iowa Central, New Mexico Junior College and Butler as teams one through five and the favorites to battle for the 2025 team championship.

Hutchinson has rank against Iowa Western and Butler this season. The Blue Dragons were edged by Iowa Western by two points at the FHSU Tiger Open on October 11. The Dragons defeated Butler by five points at the Region 6 championship.

The Blue Dragons have won three races this season, winning the Terry Masterson Twilight Classic, the Missouri Southern Stampede and the Region 6 Championships.

Kogo and fellow sophomore&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/mxc/2025-26/bios/kiprotich_titus_yvcm">Titus Kiprotich</a>&nbsp;have consistently been the Blue Dragons top two runners this season. Kogo won the Masterson and Region 6 individual titles and has three Top 3 finishes this season. Kiprotich also has three Top 3 finishes and two runner-up places this season.

Sophomore Farin Mangelson (sixth place at regionals), freshman&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/mxc/2025-26/bios/ortega_esteban_lfb9">Esteban Ortega</a>&nbsp;and freshman&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/mxc/2025-26/bios/oses_esteban_x8g9">Esteban Oses</a>&nbsp;Campus have also been consistently the other Blue Dragons to figure into the team scoring.

The Blue Dragons are back to full strength entering nationals. Sophomore&nbsp;<a href="https://bluedragonsports.com/sports/mxc/2025-26/bios/cheruiyot_dennis_bxx4">Dennis Cheruiyot</a>&nbsp;finished 10th at nationals last season and missed all of the 2025 track and field season and the first two meets this season. Cheruiyot's first race this season was at Fort Hays State and raced closer to his freshman form with a 15th-place finish at Region 6.

Hutchinson's top national finish was third in 1962 and 2024.

The Blue Dragon women moved up three spots to No. 5 in the final national rankings after winning a Region 6 championship for the second time in four seasons.

Odessa is the heavy favorite to win the women's team title with Iowa Western, El Paso, New Mexico Junior College and Hutchinson filling out the national top five.

Rono has been the clear No. 1 runner for the Blue Dragons with three race titles, one regional championship and two Blue Dragon 5K team records to her credit.

But it was at October 11 matchup with Iowa Western's Juliana Sakat that may provide some added incentive on Saturday. Rono was edged by Sakat for the individual title at the FHSU Tiger Open by a mere 1.1 second in that race.

The Blue Dragon women produced team scores in only 2 of 4 races this season. But at the Region 6 championships, the addition of freshman Mali Lovett, who returned from injury for the regional, gives the Blue Dragons a legitimate shot at a Top 5 finish. Lovett placed eighth at Region 6 with a time of 18:52.8.

Freshman Ashara Foster also played a huge role at regionals with a fourth-place performance.

The Blue Dragon women have one team national championship to their credit, winning the NJCAA Division II title in 2001. Hutchinson's Top Division I finish was sixth place in 2024.

👟 Blue Dragons go after big prizes on Saturday

 HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) — The Hays High Indians used a dominant ground game and timely passing to defeat the Hutchinson Salthawks 27-6 Friday night in a Class 5A regional playoff matchup at Gowans Stadium.

Hays senior running back Holden Lind powered the Indians’ offense, rushing for 178 yards on 28 carries and scoring two first-quarter touchdowns to give Hays an early 13-0 lead.

The Salthawks had a chance to close the gap late in the second quarter, but quarterback Robert Hunter’s pass intended for Lamar Govain was intercepted at the goal line, keeping Hutchinson scoreless at halftime.

In the second half, Hays extended its lead as quarterback Zane Vieyra connected with receiver Brogan Albers for a pair of touchdown passes, sealing the victory for the Indians.

Hunter accounted for Hutchinson’s only score with a 5-yard touchdown run in the third quarter, but the Salthawk offense struggled to find consistency against the tough Hays defense.

Hutchinson ends its season at 7-3, while Hays (8-2) advances to the Class 5A Sectional round to face top-seeded Great Bend (10-0), which rolled past Wichita Bishop Carroll 49-7 on Friday night.
