SIOUX FALLS, S.D. - Kansas City Men's Track and Field's Tory Lanham has yet another honor to add to his prolific 2024-25 season, bringing in the Summit League's Men's Track Athlete of the Year honors. This comes in addition to his Second Team All-American status, Summit League May/June Male Athlete of the Month, Summit League Most Outstanding Performer of the Championship, First Team All-League and four Kwik Star Peak Performer of the Week honors.Â
Lanham capped his season at the NCAA Championships, placing 13th in the national semifinals of the 200-meter race. He owns the program record in the race as the first athlete in KC history to go sub-20 seconds, a feat that he accomplished five times throughout the outdoor season. He ran the 24th-fastest 200-meter time in the nation this year, clocking a 20.33 in the NCAA West Regional on May 28. In addition, he anchored the league's gold medal 4x400-meter team and the silver medal 4x100-meter team.
Lanham is the third athlete in program history to earn the Summit League's male athlete of the year designation, and is the first since Anthony Boyer in 2009-10.
