MEN’S TRACK & FIELD | 4 Runners Combine for 5 All-America Awards

MENS TRACK & FIELD | 4 Runners Combine for 5 All-America Awards

Four Georgetown runners, all from the men’s squad, competed at the 2018 NCAA Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships at Texas A&M University last weekend, earning a combined five All-America awards at the meet. The men competed in the mile and the distance medley relay.

Graduate student middle distance runner Amos Bartelsmeyer missed out on the final in the mile by one hundredth of a second with a time of 4:02.36. Bartelsmeyer ran in the faster of the two preliminary heats, recording a better time than all four of the automatic qualifiers in the other preliminary heat. He finished with the seventh-fastest qualifying time overall. Josh Kerr, a sophomore from the University of New Mexico, won the men’s mile final with a time of 3:57.02.

Bartelsmeyer earned second team All-America honors for his performance in the mile and the relay, totaling six All-America awards in his career.

Later in the day, Bartelsmeyer competed in the men’s DMR, in which the Hoyas finished 11th overall. Junior middle distance runner Spencer Brown, sophomore middle distance runner Kenny Rowe, freshman middle distance runner Rey Rivera and Bartelsmeyer earned second team All-America awards for their 9:51.97 time.

The honors were the first for Rowe and Rivera and the second for Brown. The DMR from Virginia Tech won the men’s final with a time of 9:30.76.

The Hoyas face a quick turnaround this weekend with the start of the outdoor track and field season. The Georgetown men’s and women’s teams are competing at the Maryland Invitational on March 17, looking to build upon their strong indoor seasons.
