Vincent Kiprop was named the MIAA and Division II National Track Athlete of the Week this week. Kiprop, a sophomore from Kericho, Kenya, Â had a night to remember as the Kenyan broke his own school record in the 10,000 meters at the Mt. Sac Relays in California. Kiprop won the 10k elite race in a time of 28:19.95, which is more than a minute faster than his previous record that was set on this very track a year ago. The time is an NCAA automatic qualifying time, is tops in Division II by 31 seconds, is the fourth-fastest time in the NCAA this year (any division) and is the 11th-fastest time in the world this year, according to the IAAF. The time is also the seventh-fastest time ever in Division II in the 10k.
