One of the most talented athletes on the team, Benjamin is a star in the making. He was probably the most valuable sprinter on the team in 2006 due to his ability to compete in four different events. He experienced a very successful season as he garnered a first, three seconds, a fourth, and a sixth at the Heptagonal Championships. Part of a great sprint core with Grafton Ifill and classmate Joey Brown, this could be the year that Kevin leads the team under 40 seconds in the 4x100m relay. He has the speed and strength to cover distances from 60 to the 400 on a national level. Look for Benjamin to be a fixture on the awards stand over the next three years, and he may be the school recordholder in multiple events by the time hegraduates. Kevin is enrolled in the College of Arts andSciences.
