7/17/2013 | Men's Cross Country
During the summer months, MSUEagles.com will be featuring former Morehead State student-athletes. This is the second story in the "Where Are They Now?" series.
Ron Duncan consistently led the pack for the men's cross country and track team from 2006-09. He was a three-time All-Ohio Valley Conference cross country performer, including first-team nods in 2007 and 2008. He still holds the school's 8K top time and ranks third on the 10K list.
Hometown: Flemingsburg, Ky.
Current Occupation: Property Manager for MEB Management in Tucson, Ariz.
Q: What were some of the positives of your career at Morehead State?
A: The close friendships I formed, and the small class sizes which allowed for hands on learning and better relationships with my professors.
Q: What was your best memory at MSU?
A: The best memory was breaking the 8K school record. I ran a 24:15 at the Pre-Nationals in 2007. (The Pre-Nationals race, in Terre Haute, Ind., was held on the same course as the NCAA Championships in 2007.)
Q: Which teammate or coach had the biggest influence on your career at Morehead State?
A: My first coach Dan Lindsey (former MSU head coach who recruited Duncan) pushed me to be my best. My former teammates Jack Shrader and Josh Wakeman also pushed me to always get better.
Q: What was the one other team or individual you enjoyed watching most while you were at MSU?
A: I enjoyed watching men's basketball star Kenneth Faried.
Q: How did Morehead State help prepare you for your professional career?
A: Morehead State helped prepare me for my professional career because I know it is one of the best economics programs I could have attended. I also completed projects that proved to be useful in the workplace, and I had professors who cared about each individual student.
