Colin Leak was elevated to the position of Director of Men's and Women's Track & Field and Cross Country in August 2023 following one year as the coordinator of the cross country program at the school.

In his first season on South Campus, Leak helped three runners achieve all-league honors while both the men's and women's cross country teams were recognized for their work in the classroom by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). Bella Marchini finished seventh at the 2022 PSAC Championships, earning first-team All-PSAC honors as a result. She was also recognized individually by the USTFCCCA on the all-academic team, along with teammate Hallie Weaver. On the men's side, both Amir Cubbage and Philip Smith were individually recognized for their academic status while the men's squad earned a spot on the team list.

Both the men and women's cross country teams finished 11th in their respective PSAC Championship meets. The women placed 15th at the NCAA Atlantic Regional while the men placed 16th overall.
