Tory Lanham's three-medal performance included a record-breaking 200-meter dash; earning MOP honors
SIOUX FALLS - Following a stellar showing at the Summit League Outdoor Track & Field Championships this past weekend, Kansas City had six student-athletes named to the Summit League Men's All-League Team. Nahshon Houston brings home the honor in long jump while Tory Lanham and Amari Eugene were each named to the all-league team for their performances in the 200-meter dash. In addition, the Roos 4x100-meter and 4x400-meter relay teams nabbed all-league designations.
Lanham also earned the distinction of Most Outstanding Male Performer of the Championship, bringing home a pair of gold medals in the 200-meter dash and the 4x400-meter relay and anchoring the 4x100-meter team to a silver medal finish. The Most Outstanding Performer of the Championship is determined by a vote of the participating head coaches and is based upon the student-athletes' performance during the Summit League Outdoor Track and Field Championships. He becomes the first Roo to earn the title since its inception in 2017-18.
Lanham went for his second-straight league title in the 200-meter dash, logging a time of 20.83 in the finals. He made history during the preliminary round, recording a Summit League Championship record of 20.52. Eugene went for a 21.05 mark in the finals, claiming the third-place medal.
Houston cemented himself as the king of long jump in the Summit League, defending his Indoor title with another gold medal. He went for a personal best of 7.67 meters, taking the title by 0.02 meters.
Kansas City's relay teams were both anchored by Lanham, including an epic comeback in the 4x400 title race. Joining him on the gold medal-winning team were Eugene, Mason Rogers and Najee Simpson, combining for a school-record of 3:12.04. The 4x100 team took second with a time of 40.46, comprised of Lanham, Eugene, Rogers and Victor Sewankambo.
