LINCOLN, Neb.--Senior Ryan Widzgowski closed out the indoor portion of his KSC career with two All-America honors at the NCAA Division III Track and Field Championships at the Bob Devaney Center on Saturday.

Widzgowski narrowly missed on becoming KSC's 17th national champion when he finished second in the mile in 4:10.18.  Bowdoin's Coby Horowitz won the race in 4:08.40.  "It was a tight finish," said head coach Peter Thomas.  "Horowitz was out in front quickly, and went into cruise control.  Ryan took the lead of the pack after 800 meters and just matched anyone that tried to go by."  

The senior also picked up an All-America award in the 800 meters, placing sixth in 1:53.36.  McKena Ramos of Wisconsin-Oshkosh took first place in 1:51.30.  "Overall, it was a very good trip," added Thomas.

Widzgowski and the rest of the Owls begin the outdoor season on March 29 at the Mount Holyoke Spring Fling.
