He also won SUNYAC cross country crowns in 2013 and 2014 and was the 2013 USTFCCCA Atlantic Region Athlete of the Year and the NCAA Atlantic Regional champion. He also qualified for the 2015 NCAA Division III Outdoor Track and Field Championships in the 10,000 meters and narrowly missed All-America honors with a ninth-place national finish.
