Kenefick has been the top UNH finisher in each race he’s run this season.
DURHAM, N.H. – University of New Hampshire senior runner Timothy Kenefick (Guilford, Conn.) is looking to pace the 'Cats to success in the NCAA Regional meet in Amherst, N.Y. this Friday, after the Wildcats finished fifth at the America East Championship meet two weekends ago in St. Albans, Vt.
Kenefick is coming off a top-10 finish in the America East Championship meet, earning him All-Conference First Team honors with his sixth place finish, running the 8k course in 24 minutes, 59.23 seconds as the Wildcats finished sixth in the team standings. It was Kenefick's best championship finish. Kenefick was the top finisher for UNH in every meet he ran in, including four top-10 finishes and one first-place finish in the CCSU mini-meet.
Other top finishers for the 'Cats in St. Albans were junior Davis Clark (Manchester, N.H.) finished in 33rd in 26:04.42 and sophomore Nicolas Ochoa-Sevilla (Chester, N.H.) was 35th in 26:07.64. UNH then packed five runners from 43rd to 50th; of those five, junior Matthew Geraci (Honeoye Falls, N.Y.) was 47th, junior Dean Yost (Canton, Conn.) was 49th and sophomore Alexander Saveliev (Concord, N.H.) was 50th. All five of them will participate in the regional race on Friday.
Last year at the regional meet in New York City, Kenefick finished 100th, completing the 10K course in 32 minutes, 36.88 seconds. The Wildcats finished 27th in team standings.
