Edward Cheserek's March to History

Edward Cheserek stands alone at the top of NCAA history.

After winning the 5,000 meters on Friday at the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, King Ches is the winningest athlete in the history of the NCAA with 16 career national titles.

Cheserek's win in 13:41.20 broke the 35-year-old record originally set by Suleiman Nyambui of Texas-El Paso (1979-82) for the most combined national cross country and track and field championships won, cementing his legacy as one of the greatest to ever grace the track.

"I try to win them all," Cheserek said with a grin on his face.
