EUGENE, Ore. – For the first time in program history, New Mexico has swept the NCAA individual gold in the men’s and women’s 10,000m Finals after a dominant meet record performance from Pamela Kosgei (31:17.82) to secure her first national title Thursday night at Hayward Field.

After hanging on to NC State’s Grace Hartman as she led the first eight laps, Kosgei pulled ahead with a 72-second lap and didn’t relinquish the lead the rest of the way – the true freshman closed the bell lap in 70.49 seconds to put the rest of the field away emphatically and leave little doubt.

After Ishmael Kipkurui won the Men’s 10,000m Final on Wednesday, Kosgei made it a Lobo sweep of the 10K individual titles for the first time in program history. It’s also the first time a male and female UNM athlete have both won national titles at the same Outdoor Championships.

In addition to breaking Parker Valby’s previous NCAA Championship meet record, Kosgei’s 31:17.82 finish stands as the third-fastest collegiate performance all-time and fastest among collegians this season. Her time was nearly 30 seconds faster than Valby’s 31:46.09 record set in last year’s finals at the same venue.
