MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Senior standout Jacob Choge was named Conference USA Men's Track Performer of the Meet for his stellar performance at the outdoor conference championships last weekend, as voted on by the league's head coaches.
"He's been a really good competitor and has won a number of championships. He deserves this honor," said Head Coach Dean Hayes.
The Eldoret, Kenya, native competed in all four distance running events at the championships – 800m, 1500m, 5000m, and the 10K – and garnered gold medals in the 1500m and 10K.
