Track and field: UW’s Ahmed takes 5K at Canadian junior nationals

Building on the outstanding rookie season he enjoyed with the University of Wisconsin men?s track and field team this year, freshman Mohammed Ahmed laid claim to his third consecutive Canadian junior national championship in the 5,000 meters Sunday.

Ahmed, who had already claimed the Big Ten title and earned All-America honors in the 10,000 meters for the Badgers this season, solidified his spot on the Canadian national team by winning the 5,000 meters at the 2010 Canadian Junior Championships in 14:15.92.
