David Kibet led from start to finish winning the MIAA Cross Country Championships’ individual title leading the Ichabods to a program-best second-place finish on Friday afternoon at Gans Creek Cross Country Course. Kibet's time is the second-fastest 8K time in program history and he topped his previous time at the Gans Creek Course by 36 seconds from 2022. Kibet became the first individual champion at the MIAA meet since Jacob Klemz won the title in 2017. Kibet's time of 24:00.92 was just over four seconds faster than Central Missouri's Brian Mitei and six seconds over Missouri Southern's Gidieon Kimutai.
