Kosgey, Koima, Perlis, Raduazo, Watts & Farwell cop NESCAC laurels

HADLEY, MA -- Williams senior Edgar Kosgey (Eldoret Rift Valley, Kenya) and sophomore Josephat Koima (Eldoret Rift Valley, Kenya) earned First Team All-NESCAC honors, while seniors Jeff Perlis (Bethesda, MD) and Corey Watts (Madison, WI) along with sophomore Anthony Raduazo (Bolton, MA) collected Second Team honors.

A familiar face at the front of the Ephs’ pack, Kosgey paced his squad to their fourth NESCAC title in the last four years as he finished second for the second year in a row (25:57). Koima in his first appearance at the conference championship came in third with a time of 26:18.

A year ago Perlis was a First Team selection and Raduazo earned Second Team recognition and was named the NESCAC Rookie of the year.

This Eph quintet led Williams to its fourth consecutive NESCAC crown giving the Ephs a NESCAC-best 12 titles under head coach Peter Farwell who was named Coach of the Year.

Farwell is in his 30th year at Williams and his team has won more NESCAC titles than any other during his tenure, as they captured their 12th overall crown this past weekend at Wickham Park.

It is the third time in the last four years that Farwell has been named Coach of the Year after winning the award in 2006 and again in 2007. He shared the league’s coaching honors with Peter Slovenski of Bowdoin in 2000.
