We highlighted Cory Glines' “Kick of the Week” earlier, but we can't leave out these other monster kicks that went down across the country during conference weekend. Here are the kicks that deserve a serious shout-out:
Elijah Armstrong Rolls Out in Mountain West 10K
The freshman made his presence known in the men’s 10K final when he rolled past seasoned All-American Patrick Corona to break the tape in 30:08.25—just 0.09 seconds faster than Corona, who couldn’t compete with the fury of Armstrong’s kick.
Marta Freitas Flies Out of a Cannon at SECs
The Mississippi State All-American wasn’t even in the camera frame until then-leader Dom Scott crossed 150m to go in the 1500m final at SECs. Freitas came from behind in a tactical race to blow past Scott for the 1500m win in her second event of the day.
Cory Glines Unleashes Super-Human Kick at Big Sky
While watching this race, I kept saying to myself, “There's no way he’s going to get him before the line,” and I was swiftly proven wrong as Glines of Northern Arizona unleashed a superhuman effort to pass Hayden Hawks in the final step of the 10K. The finish even ended with a fall from Hawks as Glines charged down the straightaway to claim the Big Sky Conference title.
Gina Sereno Clinches Big Ten Team Title With 5K Kick
Sereno made two massive contributions to Michigan’s Big Ten team title by winning the 10K and the 5K at the championships this weekend. But it was her monster kick in the 5K that really sealed the deal for the Wolverines.
AJ Boully Out-Leans Fernando Martinez in 400m Hurdles
With one hurdle remaining, it looked as if Fernando Martinez had a victory in the 400m hurdles on lock at the Mountain West Championships. That didn’t stop AJ Boully of Utah State from battling down to the wire to claim the conference title by just 0.02 seconds.
Elijah Armstrong Rolls Out in Mountain West 10K
The freshman made his presence known in the men’s 10K final when he rolled past seasoned All-American Patrick Corona to break the tape in 30:08.25—just 0.09 seconds faster than Corona, who couldn’t compete with the fury of Armstrong’s kick.

Unbelievable!!! Gina Sereno wins the 5K for our 2nd 5K/10K sweep in the last 3 years. 2 B1G crowns for Gina! https://t.co/xepqbiiex3
