Zouhair Talbi was named the National Men’s Track Athlete of the Year for the 2022 NAIA Indoor Track & Field season. Talbi, who hails from Tighassaline, Khenifra, Morocco, had a sensational and record-breaking campaign. The Oklahoma City standout swept the mile, 3000 and 5000 at the 2022 NAIA Indoor Track & Field Championships, which came after a regular season where he etched his name into the top-10 of collegiate history in both the 3000 (No. 3, 7:40.39) and 5000 (No. 8, 13:18.17). His 30 points at the NAIA Championships helped guide the Stars to their first indoor national title in program history.
