Men's 10,000m
When: Thursday, May 25 | 9:35 p.m.
Who: Vincent Kiprop (Southern Missouri)
En route to winning the 10,000m at the Mt. SAC Relays this year, Kiprop established a new PR of 28:19.94, which obliterated his school record and now ranks as the seventh-best time ever in Division II. The sophomore's PR is 30 seconds faster than the next-fastest time in the field, and puts him at No. 5 across all NCAA divisions. Last year, he won the 2016 NCAA Division II Cross Country Championship and earned the 5,000m indoor title.
