2024 NCAA Championship Results
VERONA, Wisc. – A total of six Mountain West runners earned All-America honors after competing at the 2024 NCAA Cross Country Championships just outside of Madison, Wisconsin on Saturday.
The top-40 runners in each race garnered All-American status. Five came from New Mexico with the Lobo programs both finishing in the top 10 for the first time in program history – the women in seventh and the men in ninth.
National Runner-Ups Pamela Kosgei and Habtom Samuel were joined by teammates Mercy Kirarei (35th) on the women’s side and Collins Kiprotich (35th) and Evans Kiplagat (40th) on the men’s side. It’s the second All-American cross country honors of Samuel and Kiplagat’s careers and the first time in program history with multiple Lobo men and women finishing as All-Americans.
Samuel – who is now up to six All-American trophies in the last 12 months – is only the fourth man from New Mexico to finish as Cross Country All-American multiple times and the first since Abdirizak Ibrahim (2020, 2021).
New Mexico has now had at least one woman finish as an All-American at NCAA’s 13 times in a row. Nicola Jansen did so as an individual qualifier in 2023 to keep the streak alive even when the Lobo women missed out on a team qualification.
Utah State Graduate Camren Todd is the sixth Mountain West All-American after he finished in 25th place in the men’s 10k. He became the seventh cross country All-American and the first since the 2020 season. Todd joins Alisa Nicodemus (1992), Trever Ball (2005), Dillon Maggard (2016, 2017), Alyssa Snyder (2017) and Caleb Garnica (2020) in the exclusive club of Utah State cross country All-Americans.
