4/17/2026 10:49:00 AM

AZUSA, Calif. – A Wichita State distance trio clocked fast 10,000-meter times at the Bryan Clay Invitational Thursday inside the Cougar Athletic Stadium.
 
Sophomore Elkana Kipruto claimed his fifth Wichita State record between cross country, indoor and outdoor track and field, running 28:09.21 to finish sixth in heat one of the men's invite section of the 10,000 meters. He broke Mornay Annandale's 35-year-old record of 28:48.64 set in 1991.
 
In the next race, senior Lucy Ndungu won heat two of the women's invite section of the 10,000 meters, running 33:20.55, just 1.74 seconds off of the American Conference all-time record. Her time ranks third in Wichita State history behind Pizza Hut Shocker Sports Hall of Famers, Aliphine Tuliamuk and Tonya Nero.
 
Both Kipruto and Ndungu lead the American Conference in the 10K, recording the top American finishes of the Bryan Clay races.
 
Earlier in the day in the men's open A section of the 10,000 meters, junior Titus Kiprotich finished seventh with the eighth-fastest time in school history, running 29:46.20.
 
At the ESU Relays, the Shockers recorded five top-eight finishes.
