A capable all-around athlete, Musil owns a personal best of 25:39 in the 8K. Lehman-Winters is excited about welcoming such an accomplished international and elite collegiate athlete to the Hilltop.

"We are very pleased to add Lukas to our program. He brings national level track experience to our men's program and is excited about the prospect of contributing to our men's team in the fall," Lehman- Winters said.
