Matt Kacyon made sure to stay out of “no man’s land” Saturday during the American Athletic Conference Championships.
“The goal was to keep pushing up to the competition,” the senior said. “You have to keep up to avoid the gaps, so you don’t get stuck in no man’s land where it is hard to keep your pace going and close the gap to be with the pack when they make their move.”
Kacyon ran a personal-best time of 24 minutes, 17.79 seconds to come in eighth place overall in the 76-man field, helping the Owls finish fourth—their highest finish in school history at The American Championships.
