Celebrating A Century of NCAA Track & Field Championships
Rotich Went Back-To-Back-To-Back In Steeple
Early in the final of the steeplechase at the 2013 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships, it was clear that it would be a three-man race for the title between Stanley Kebenei of Arkansas, Henry Lelei of Texas A&M and Anthony Rotich of UTEP. The Kenyan trio gapped the field and pushed the pace in a manner seen only several times in meet history, most recently in 1985.
At the bell, Lelei and Rotich put about five meters between themselves and Kebenei.
By the final water jump, Rotich was the only one left standing among the leading duo after Lelei lost his footing and splashed into the pit following a huge surge by the UTEP sophomore.
