Jalen Adams (did not run- soreness)
Strength & Conditioning Coach Travis Illian 21:53
Head Coach Kevin Ollie 22:38


* Extra mileage due to misdirection


  • Brimah also won as a sophomore, didn't run last year. Daniel Hamilton won last year.
  • Strength coach Travis Illian actually was the first to cross the finish line; Kevin Ollie was third, meaning he beat out all but two of his players at age 43. “That’s disappointing," he said. "But, I think I know the race a little bit. I’ve been practicing a little bit, too, during the summer months." Those players will pay for losing to their coach, however. "They'll do some extra stuff," Ollie said. "They'll feel my wrath."
  • Jalen Adams didn't run due to hip soreness. Nothing serious.
  • Christian Vital took a wrong turn and ran the race over, probably running about five miles overall. Freshman mistake.
