NORMAN, Okla. - Senior Silverus Kimeli, who transferred to OU from the University of Arkansas for his final season of competition and to pursue a graduate degree, was named the Big 12's Male Cross Country Runner of the Week for the week of September 16. Kimeli won the UNT Invitational at Denton, Texas, Saturday.
The Eldoret, Kenya, senior claimed the 8k title with a time of 24:59. Kimeli was one of six Sooner runners to finish in the top 10 at the race. He helped lead OU to its first team victory in a meet since September, 1998, and was the first Sooner man to win an individual title in the same time.
Kimeli is the first Sooner to earn Big 12 Cross Country Runner of the Week in the eight-year history of the conference.
