William Kaul
Wisconsin-Oshkosh
Wisconsin-Oshkosh junior William Kaul took the lead in the final lap and held off Wisconsin-Platteville senior Tyler Sigl in a photo finish.

Now a two time All-American, Kaul clocked in at 14:23.43, which established a new fieldhouse record that was set by Pat Frascone of Wisconsin-Whitewater in 2002.

Sigl, who is also a two time All-American, finished in a time of 14:23.44, only .01 of a second behind the national champion.

A two time All-American, Hany Abdallah of New York ran a strong race and even had the lead for a few laps before finishing in third. The senior finished with a time of 14:31.41.

“My plan was to hang the entire race and stay relaxed. That last lap I was just hung on and I gave it everything I had. I was out for six or seven months due to an injury and it felt great to be back on the track. I worked my butt off to get back and it feels awesome." -- William Kaul, Wisconsin-Oshkosh
Wartburg senior Kevin Balster clocked in at 14:35.26 to lock up fourth place.

Cortland SUNY junior Shamus Nally and sophomore Seth DuBois earned fifth and eighth respectively. Nally recorded a time of 14:38.72 to finish fifth and DuBois clocked in at 14:50.58 to clinch eighth.

Senior Chris Erichsen of St. John’s (Minn.) ran a strong race and finished sixth with a time of 14:40.19, while Wartburg junior Brian Chenoweth (14:45.44) finished seventh.
