USTFCCCA honors Edgar Kosgey and Peter Farwell of Williams College
10:47AM / Thursday, November 20, 2008
Williams junior standout runner Edgar Kosgey and Eph head cross country coach Peter Farwell have been named the top men's athlete and coach in New England Division III circles by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).
Kosgey, Farwell and the rest of the Ephs are headed to Hanover College (IN) this Saturday to run in the NCAA Championships race.
NEW ENGLAND REGION
Men's athlete: Edgar Kosgey, Williams College
Kosgey dominated the field at the NCAA New England Regional, winning by 14 seconds as the Ephs claimed the team championship. He previously won the New England Small College Athletic Conference (NESCAC) individual title. Kosgey, a junior from Eldoret, Kenya, finished 36th at last year's NCAA Cross Country Championships, one spot away from All-American honors.
Men's coach: Peter Farwell, Williams College
Following their third straight NESCAC and fourth straight Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) titles, the sixth-ranked Ephs won the New England Regional by more than 80 points. Farwell's men won NCAA cross country championships in 1994 and 1995 and have nine other top-10 finishes since. Farwell has been coaching the Williams men since 1979.
