LCC cross country runner named National Athlete of the Week
Carmody was the leading JUCO runner at the Jeff Drenth Memorial for the second straight year. For 2025, he finished three places higher at 12th than he did last year, and was 26.8 seconds faster at 15:05.7 as the Stars are running for a third-straight national title.
He hopes to be racing when championship season arrives this year since his individual campaign for 2024 ended mid-September.
This is the sixth time that a male athlete from LCC has been named M-F Athletic National Athlete of the Week for Cross Country.
Congratulations, Nate.
Go STARS!

About M-F Athletic
M-F Athletic was established by Bill Falk in 1960 when he developed the M-F Heel Protector (Plastic Heel Cup), a device that covers the athlete's heel area and is worn like a cup inside shoes. It is still used very effectively to absorb blows to the heel. He started a Track & Field catalog in 1968. As years passed, the M-F Track & Field catalog became the leader in its field. Today, M-F's logo, "Everything Track & Field," stands for the largest selection of equipment and the best service in the industry. The company stocks a huge inventory of all major brands and offers same-day service on Track & Field equipment.
