2021 Men's Cross Country Awards
The annual ICCAC All-Region Teams for cross country are determined each year by their place at the Region XI Championships.
Iowa Central continued their dominance in Division I, with seven of the fifteen finishes this year to the All-Regional Team. Iowa Western provided five runners to the All-Region Team and Indian Hills rounded out the list accounting for three this year.
NIACC also continued its successful run in Division II with seven placements to the All-Region Team this year. Hawkeye also had a strong showing with five named to the list this year as well. DMACC followed with two selections, and Scott with one.
The 2021 Division I Male Athlete of the Year was Aspel Kiprob from Iowa Central. Kiprob received Athlete of the Week honors twice through the course of the ICCAC Cross Country Season. Kiprob placed third at the 2021 Greeno Dirksen Invite and second place finish at the All-American Invitational. The freshman was also the individual champion at the Jim Drews/Tori Neubauer Invitational. His performance at the Region XI Championships propelled him ahead of teammate Kelvin Bungei and Iowa Western's Nicholas Kiprotich, where he took first place at the meet.
The 2021 Division II Male Athlete of the Year was Melvin Kipkemboi from NIACC.
