In addition to Sinda's honor, Dawid Konieczek (So., Zsrit Powodowo, Poland) and Alicja Konieczek (Fr., Zsrit Powodowo, Poland) came away Second Team All-Americans in the steeplechase.
 
Running in his fourth-straight steeplechase final at the NCAA Championships, Sinda saved his best for last by bettering his personal-best by 12 seconds with a time of 8:49.80. Sinda's time was the sixth-fastest in Western history as he collected his third-straight All-American accolade in the event. He closes out his career a five-time All-American.
