“For Minors, it is his third outdoor All-America selection, as well as his sixth overall. He previously earned All-America honors for the 2015 and 2017 outdoor seasons, as well as the 2014-15, 2015-16 and 2016-17 indoor campaigns, all in the 800 meters.
“This spring, he ran the seventh-fastest preliminary time at the NCAA Championships, with a 1:49.45, to secure a spot in the 800 meter final.
