Kemei’s honor comes after the Eldoret, Kenya, native placed first at the ECU Pirate Invitational last Friday, Oct. 18. Kemei broke her own school-record in the race with a time of 20:25.67 in the women’s 6K and helped the Phoenix women to the team title at the meet. The first-place finish for Kemei was her third of the season, the most ever for an Elon women’s cross country runner in program history.
