FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – Nova Southeastern men's cross country senior Ian McQuate received his first-ever Sunshine State Conference postseason accolade as the Keaau, Hawaii native was named to the All-SSC second-team as announced by the league office on Wednesday afternoon.

"I'm proud of Ian (McQuate) for working hard his senior year, giving it all he's got in every race," said head coach Bryan Hagopian. "His final year definitely had to be the best he has ever raced since he arrived as a freshman. He's always dedicated himself to this program and always raced with determination."
