Overview
Stockton Men's Cross Country competed in seven meets during the 2024 season, three of which were held on the Stockton campus course. The Ospreys finished third in the NJAC Championship for the third straight year and then recorded the program's best finish ever at the NCAA Regionals by placing sixth out of 26 teams.
 
Head coach Jayson Resch had a trio of veterans leading the way but also received contributions from a pair of newcomers and one sophomore who stepped into a larger role. Six runners scored in at least three of the seven meets in which the Ospreys competed. Stockton produced an NCAA qualifier for the third consecutive year and seventh time in program history.

Stockton hosted the NCAA Regional meet for the first time ever to bookend a season that began with two home meets, the Stockton Season Opener and Osprey Open. A team win in a field of 15 squads at the the Penn State Abington Invitational also provided a highlight.

Highlights

• Senior Erik Ackerman became the third Stockton male to qualify for the NCAA Championships twice as he reached the NCAA meet for the second straight year. Ackerman was the top finisher for the Ospreys at all seven meets, highlighted by a win at the Penn State Abington Invitational and runner-up finishes at the NJAC Championship and Osprey Open.
• Sophomore Josh Corsentino was a key newcomer as a transfer from Ocean County College. Corsentino scored at six of Stockton's seven meets and was the second finisher for the Ospreys behind Ackerman three times as well as the third Osprey across the finish line twice.
• Senior Dan Squicciarini and junior Shane McDevitt scored at five meets apiece. Squicciarini came on strong as the season progressed and was Stockton's second finisher at the NJAC Championship and third finisher at the NCAA Regionals. He placed sixth at the Penn State Abington Invitational and ran a 17-second personal best at the NCAA Regionals.
• McDevitt was Stockton's second finisher behind Ackerman at the first three meets of the season and was the third Osprey scorer twice as well. He recorded a career best finish of fourth place at the Penn State Abington Invitational.
• Sophomore Owen Bergen assumed a larger role and freshman Dan Mine was the top rookie for the Ospreys as both runners scored at three meets. Bergen placed fifth at the Penn State Abington Invitational and Mine was the fifth finisher for Stockton at the NJAC Championships and NCAA Regionals with his two best times of the season.
• Fifth-year Mike Stec and junior Dalton Culleny were two veterans who chipped in by scoring at two races apiece. Junior Mike Cordiano and sophomore Patrick Storti each were Stockton's fifth finisher once.
