Congrats Festus Kigen

TCU senior Festus Kigen was named the 2010 South Central Region Men’s Athlete of the Year by the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association's Wednesday. Festus also used to help train the Women's Soccer Team here at TCU.

Kigen became the first male in TCU history to win a regional title, breaking the tape with the time of 30:11.1. He also became the third Frog overall to win a regional crown, joining Mary Kinyanjui and Glady’s Keitany.

The victory marked the third top-10 finish at a regional meet for Kigen in his four-year career at TCU, punching his ticket for his third and final appearance at the NCAA Cross Country Championships on Nov. 22 in Terre Haute, Ind. The honor is the third all-region team honor for Kigen.
