CLINTON, Miss. --- The 2015-16 Mississippi College athletics season was full of extraordinary moments both on and off the fields of play.
Â
The Office of Athletic Communications, comprised of
David Nichols and
Kyle Lewis, along with a week-long Twitter poll, came together to compose a list of the "Top 10 Moments" on the court, field and track.
Â
While there were many moments this season that had Mississippi College alumni, students and fans proud of their Choctaws and Lady Choctaws, here's the list of the absolute best.
No. 9 --- Becoming an All-American one time during your collegiate career is a dream for most student-athletes, but for the Choctaws'
Ryan Campbell earning it twice heading into his senior season is a great accomplishment.
Â
Campbell, a member of the MC Men's Cross Country Team, earned his second All-American accolade during his junior season as he finished 10th at the NCCAA National Championships with a time of 25:33.8 in the 8K race. His team-leading time helped the Choctaws reset a 14 year old record with a team average time of 26:30 as the squad finished sixth at the national championships.
Â
The Senatobia, Miss., native ran a time of 25:32.0 in 2014 en route to finishing sixth at the Championships and claiming his first All-American laurel.
Â
Stay tuned on Wednesday, June 15 when the number eight moment is released.
