Eighteen athletes have earned cross country All-American honors in Emporia State University history. The Emporia State Women's cross country team began in 1980, the same year that the NAIA added women's cross country. During the 12 year history of Emporia State's participation in NAIA women's cross country, ESU established itself as one of the top teams in the nation. ESU posted national runner-up finishes twice, in 1980 and 1986, and five national top-ten finishes as well as eight top-20 finishes. Emporia State has had several successful runners at the NCAA DII and MIAA competitions. Eight ESU athletes have earned cross country All-American honors during the 35-year history with Jonel Rossbach and Lesha Wood earning the highest individual national finishes, both placing fourth.
