Biography

Competed four times in the indoor season, a 13:52.89 5k effort opened up his indoor season at the GVSU Holiday open, both that and a 7:57.75 3k at the GLIAC Championships punched tickets to the 2026 NCAA Finals. At Nationals, he ran 25 laps for a 3rd place All American finish in the 5k. In a stacked outdoor season, he posted two back-to-back PRs in the 10k at Raleigh Relays (28:52.63) and at the Bryan Clay Invitational (13:40.61), both booked him a ticket to the National finals. In a heroic 10k-5k double effort, his 29:20.62 won him the 10k national title. Fraaza came back less than 48 hours later in the 5k with a 14:10.82 6th place finish to clinch the men's teams national championship title. Earned GLIAC Academic Excellence Honors.
