NEW ORLEANS, La. - The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) announced on Monday the 428 student-athletes that will receive USTFCCCA All-America honors in Division I. The list includes Northern Arizona senior David McNeill, winner of the 5,000-meter run, and sophomore Ahmed Osman.

A total of 523 awards will be presented to the 428 individuals as a result of a national top-eight finish in this past weekend's NCAA Division I Outdoor Championships in Eugene, Ore. In addition, the top eight finishing athletes among U.S. citizens from the NCAA Championships gain All-America status.

For McNeill, this is his ninth career All-American award, and fourth this year. He won his first of the season with a second-place finish at the NCAA Cross Country Championships. The Australia native then picked up two more at the NCAA Indoor Championships in March when he won his first career national title in the 5,000-meter run, and finished runner-up in the 3,000-meter run the following evening. His latest award came after he won the outdoor 5K this past weekend at the NCAA Outdoor championships in Eugene, Ore.

Osman gained All-American status after finishing 15th overall in the men's 10,000-meter run this past Thursday at the outdoor championships. This is the second All-American award for the San Diego native after he won his first trophy at the 2009 outdoor championships with a ninth-place finish in the 10K.

The recent accomplishments by the two gives the NAU track and field program seven All-Americans from the 2009-2010 season.
