William Zegarski sprinted by several competitors over the final straightaway, making his move into the 16^th spot in the 10,000 meters at the 2025 NCAA Track and Field Championships in Eugene, Ore.
 
That late move earned Zegarski second-team All-America honors.
 
Zegarski crossed the line in a time of 29:22.91. New Mexico's Ishmael Kipkurui won the NCAA title in the event, clocking a time of 29:07.70. His teammate Habtom Samuel finished second. The 23 finishers were separated by only 26 seconds.
 
Zegarski's inclusion in the 10k final Wednesday night marked the fifth consecutive NCAA Championship with a Bulldog in the field.
 
The men's portion of the NCAA Championships continues Friday and the Bulldogs will once again be represented as Matthew Forrester will run in the 5,000 meters.
