Luca Santorum was named the 2024 NAIA Indoor Track & Field National Men’s Track Athlete of the Year. Santorum, who hails from Rome, Italy, scored 22.5 points at the 2024 NAIA Indoor Track & Field Championships this past weekend in Brookings, South Dakota, to help lead Cumberlands (Ky.) to its first team title in program history. He won both the 1000 meters and mile and assisted on the first-place distance medley relay. Santorum’s 2:22.70 clocking in the 1000 set an NAIA all-time, all-conditions best. Earlier in the season, Santorum earned Mid-South Conference Athlete of the Year and Mid-South Conference Freshman of the Year honors.
