Habtom Samuel Falls, Recovers To Win 10K At NCAA D1 Track Championships

New Mexico track and field freshman Habtom Samuel came roaring back through the field to win the 10000m final at the NCAA track and field championships.

Habtom Samuel capped off a great Day 1 of the NCAA D1 Track and Field Championships with a sensational display of recovery in the 10000m men's final. 

With a little less than 1000m to go, Arkansas runner Patrick Kiprop tripped up the freshman Samuel, who hails from Eritrea. Samuel landed on his hands and knees near the middle of the pack, bounced back up, and recovered quickly in the final stretch at Hayward Field.

Samuel recovered so well, in fact, that he finished nearly a second ahead of 2nd place at 28:07.82. To his credit, Kiprop finished in 8th place. 

Samuel became the first Lobo overall to win an NCAA Track and Field title since 2019 and the first in the men's division since Josh Kerr in 2017 (1500m).
