Kosgei defies barriers to exceed academically

One of UTEP’s cross country runners has enjoyed triumph on both sides of the spectrum, on and off the field. His name is Antony Kosgei and he is currently a sophomore majoring in environmental science.

Kosgei comes from Eldoret, Kenya, and has close to a perfect GPA, with a 3.78 average.

He has made the leap from his hometown lifestyle to the American lifestyle in great fashion. Being a member of the Conference USA’s Honor Roll is a privilege many could not add on to their resume, but he has accomplished that goal in 2016.

UTEP was an easy decision for Kosgei.
