The U.S Track & Field and Cross Country Association selected University of Portland Senior, Woody Kincaid as men’s track athlete of the week on Tuesday.

The UP distance runner finished his 3000 meter race at a staggering 7:48.89, coming in third place at the TrackTown USA High Performance Meet located in Portland’s House of Track this weekend.

Kincaid went up against professional runners such as 2013 Bowerman Award winner Cam Levins, Paul Chelimo, and the two-time NCAA indoor champ Eric Jenkins. The UP athlete came in third to Jenkins and Chelimo, but beat Levins by four seconds.
