The Newbury College Men's cross country team had an impressive 2007 season with highlights that included a first place finish in the Elms Invitational, hosting the Association of Division III Independents Championship Race, and competing in the NCAA cross country regional championship.

The Nighthawks were led this season by junior Herrel Siller Jr. (Palo Alto, CA/Palo Alto) who placed first in six of his seven races this year. Siller was named the Association of Division III Independents runner of the week after the Elms Invitational, after his first place overall finish with a time of 28:09 and was also chosen as the AD3I student athlete of the month award for the month of October. Siller finished in the top 15 at the ECAC Cross Country Championships and ran his best time as a collegiate runner with a time of 26:25 at the NCAA regional cross country championship.

Also running their best times of the season at the NCAA regional championship were Branden Mountain (Bangor, ME/Bangor) and Stephen Desjardins (Cumberland, ME/Greely) who finished with times of 28:24 and 30:36 respectively. Both Mountain and Desjardins were essential part of the men's cross country team's success in the 2007 season.

The Elms Invitational marked the first ever overall victory in the school's history. The Nighthawks also placed second overall at the Gordon Invitational Meet. For the first time in the school's history, the Nighthawks also hosted the Independent Championship Race at Franklin Park, in Jamaica Plain.

Starting in the 2008-2009 season, the Nighthawks will become a member of the brand new NCAA conference, the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC).
