Cross-Country and Track & Field

Kevin Theissen continued the long Carleton tradition of outstanding distance and cross-country runners by earning cross-country All-America honors in 1994 and winning the MIAC individual title his senior year. He led the Knights’ cross-country squad to conference titles in 1994 and 1995 and earned three straight all-MIAC citations from 1993 to 1995. On the track, Theissen was an all-conference performer three seasons and helped the Knights to a third place finish at the 1996 MIAC Outdoor Championships. He still owns the third-fastest 5,000-meter time in Carleton history and was the Millen Award winner in 1996.
