EUGENE, Ore. – Wichita State's Lucy Ndungu earned Honorable Mention All-America recognition for her 17th-place finish in the 10,000 meters Thursday night at the NCAA Outdoor Championships at Hayward Field.
The junior from St. Louis, Mo. ran 34:18.02 and is now one of three Shocker women to ever run a 10,000-meter race at the NCAA Championships. Her 17th-place finish was just one spot away from the top-16 distinction of Second Team All-American and caps off an incredible first year with the Shockers at the Division I level.
Ndungu finishes her junior year with a runner-up all-conference performance at the AAC Cross Country Championships, two runner-up all-conference performances at the AAC Outdoor Championships and Honorable Mention All-America recognition at the NCAA Outdoor Championships.
