TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - The 2025 cross country season has been dominated by Florida State College at Jacksonville freshman runner Mei Chiang, and Friday's FCSAA Cross Country Championships presented by Visit Tallahassee Sports was no different.

Chiang tied the event's 5K record time of 18:46.4 to win the DII individual crown and Daytona State College won the DII team title for the third time in school history. 

Chiang got to the front of the pack quickly and never trailed en route to equaling the time of Daytona State's Giovana Meade, set in 2023. 

By virtue of winning, Chiang was named FCSAA DII Women's Cross Country Runner of the Year. 

Falcon runners Emma Turner, Brianna Crawford, Kennedy Flores and Tiffany Cox placed second, third, sixth and seventh, helping them to a team score of 24 points. Gulf Coast State College was a distant second with 94 points to claim the FCSAA Runner-up trophy. Eastern Florida State College finished third. 

In the Division I standings, Seminole State College delivered a perfect team score of 15 points to claim the FCSAA DI Championship trophy over Chipola College. 

Seminole's Rachel Horsford was the FCSAA DI Women's Individual Champion and FCSAA DI Runner of the Year with a time of 20:48.1. Teammates Morgan Harvill, the 2024 DI Individual Champion, Madelyn Rhodes, Darcy Cernansky, Nicole Lobo and Madeleine Coffee rounded out the top six while Chipola's Jasmine Selena Hernandez placed seventh. They all joined Horsford on the Division I All-FCSAA team. 

In addition to Chiang and the quartet of Falcons, the DI All-FCSAA team included Gulf Coast State College's Lauren Logue, who placed fourth, and Pasco-Hernando State College's Isabella Quinlan, who finished fifth.
