STILLWATER, Okla. – The No. 5 Iowa State men's cross country team has advanced to its fourth consecutive NCAA Championships with a second-place team finish at the NCAA Midwest Regional Championships. The Cyclones (54) were edged by team champion, Tulsa (37).
Senior All-American Edwin Kurgat continued his dominant season on the course, capturing his second-straight NCAA Midwest Regional title. Kurgat finished the 10K course in 30:38.3, four seconds ahead of second-place Thomas George of Missouri.
It was a total team effort for the Cyclones. In total, six Iowa State runners earned All-Region honors with top-25 finishes. ISU also stayed patient in a tough field. At the 3K mark, Iowa State sat in ninth, but strategically made its way to the front.
David Too, Chad Johnson and Milo Greder all posted top-15 finishes at the Regional Championships. Too took 10th in 31:07.8, Johnson crossed the finish line in 31:11.7 for 12th and Greder finished right on Johnson's heals in 31:13.5 for 13th.
Thomas Pollard and Mitchell Day were Iowa State's final two All-Region performers. Pollard posted a top-20 finish with an 18th-place performance in 31:19.0. Pollard was followed by Day who took 24th in 31:31.2. Addison Dehaven finished just off the medal stand, taking 29th individually in 31:39.1.
