NEW ORLEANS, La. (May 10, 2022) – After a collegiate record breaking performance on Friday night, Abdihamid Nur has earned his first career outdoor USTFCCCA National Men's Athlete of the week award.
The Bowerman Award contender ran a 5,000-meter time of 3:06.32, to break Henry Rono's 44-year old NCAA collegiate record of 13:08.4; Rono's mark was the longest standing collegiate track and field record and set the world record in 1978 as well.
Nur shares this week's spotlight with Kyle Garland of Georgia, who recently broke the NCAA decathlon record.
