Macharia Yuot, Widener: NCAA DIII Athlete Hall of Fame, Class of 2025

Macharia Yuot won and won and then won again. That was just at the 2006 NCAA DIII Outdoor Track & Field Championships where he became the first – and still only – male athlete in NCAA history to win national titles in the 5000 meters, 10,000 meters and steeplechase. That’s across a career: Yuot did so in one meet. Those were three of six NCAA titles for Yuot and three of 14 All-America honors he earned between cross country, indoor track & field and outdoor track & field. He also topped the NCAA podium twice indoors in the 5000 meters and once following the NCAA Cross Country Championships as a senior in 2006.
