LOUISVILLE, Ky. - Former FUMA standout Peter Lomong was known for finding another gear to take home many VISAA state titles and this Saturday he did just that and used his strong kick to finish an All-American 8th place finish in the NCAA D1 XC Championships in Louisville, Kentucky. His finish in 29:33 also helped score some low points for Northern Arizona for the national team title.
"Not racing last year motivated me to stay back and work hard this summer, it was very emotional." - Peter Lomong moments after his 8th place finish and team win.
Northern Arizona went 2-3-8-35-60 to easily win the team title over Portland, BYU, and Stanford. Individually winning the Men's 10K was Justyn Knight of Syracuse who crossed the line first in 29:00.11.
