TERRE HAUTE, Ind. - Amon Kemboi and Athanas Kioko earned All-American honors as the duo wrapped up competition for the season at the NCAA Cross Country Championships in Terre Haute, Ind.

Kemboi and Kioko finished in eighth and 19th, marking the best finish at the NCAA Championships by a pair of Camels in program history.

Kioko took over the lead through the first leg of the race before fading towards the back of lead pack of runners. The Machakos, Kenya native fell as far back as 28th at the 8K split before using a last burst of energy to crack into the top 20.

Kemboi remained in the top 10 throughout the race, climbing as high as second overall halfway through the race at the 5K split.

Virginia Tech's Peter Seufer led the majority of the race before relinquishing his lead towards the 8K split as Iowa State's Edwin Kurgat closed in and took over the lead. Kurgat would eventually extend his lead on the rest of the pack through the final 1K, claiming the individual title.

BYU claimed the team national title, finishing ahead of Colorado and Northern Arizona.

Kemboi is now tied with former Campbell runner Lawrence Kipkoech for the most cross country All-American honors in program history.
