The 2015 SEC and South Region Runner of the Year, Kosgei raced to the men's 4-mile title at the Brooks Twilight Classic in Memphis, Tenn. last Saturday. The Eldoret, Kenya native crossed the finish line in 19:11.13. Kosgei's victory helped Alabama to a second-place finish in the Crimson Tide's season-opening meet.
