Men's 5,000 Meters Final Results

Austin, Tex. — Simon Bedard finished 14th in the men's 5,000 meters on Friday night at the NCAA Division I Men's and Women's Outdoor Championships. The French native clocked in at 14:19.10 earning himself second-team All-American honors. 

Bedard was in the lead pack for most of the race until the group began spreading out with three laps to go. Stanford's Ky Johnson would eventually pull away in the final 400 meters, winning the race at 14:04.77. Johnson claimed his second title after winning the 10,000 meters on Wednesday night. 

Friday's race was Bedard's first NCAA Outdoor appearance and his last race in a Bulldog uniform. 

Bedard became the second Bulldog to earn All-American honors after Barry Keane placed seventh in the 10,000 meters on Wednesday night.
