Wichita State distance runner Winny Koskei has taken on a champion before and won and the sophomore will attempt to do so again on Thursday at the American Athletic Conference Championships in New Orleans.
After Koskei beat out SMU’s Hannah Miller in May on the track to claim the 5,000- and 10,000-meter titles at the AAC Outdoor Championships, the two will once again duel in the women’s 6-kilometer race on Thursday morning to decide the cross country champion. The race will be streamed on the American Digital Network Plus Facebook page starting at 8 a.m.
Miller, the defending champion, ran almost a full minute faster than Koskei at this race one year ago.
