The Massachusetts Men's Cross-country team has named captains for the 2007 season. Senior Ryan Durkin and junior Jesse Regnier lead the Minutemen this season under Massachusetts coach Ken O'Brien. Durkin finished among the top five runners in five meets last season. In the 8 kilometer race, he ran his fastest time in that event of the year at the New England Championships with a time of 25:50, good for 70th place overall.

Regnier was exceptional as a sophomore last season, finishing before any of his teammates in four out of the six events that he participated in. He finished in 14th place overall at the New England Championship meet. Renier took 17th place at Atlantic 10 Championship meet, as well as 54th overall at the NCAA Regional meet, again finishing ahead of any of his teammates.

Durkin and Regnier captain a team of familiar faces this season. While losing only two seniors, the Cross-country team welcomes back 19 runners, including five seniors and six juniors.
