Freshman runner hopes to earn All-American accolades at meet
The bottom of the pile is now at the top of the pack. In his first-ever Great Lakes Regional Championships, freshman Jordan Kyle finished unscathed from a race that claimed the rest of his team. A career-best 10K time of 31:02.43 gave Kyle a coveted third-place finish to secure his slot at the NCAA Championships, scheduled for today in Terre Haute. "(IU) coach (Robert) Chapman has done an excellent job of peaking me for the end of the year, and I have never felt stronger than I do now," Kyle said. "Currently the weather is making for a very muddy race at nationals, which for me is a mental advantage. I tend to exceed my ability when the conditions are worse."
