Amor, a three time NCAA Division II All-American, finished fifth at the Division II Championships in Joplin, Missouri in November. He was the 2023 Rocky Mountain Athletic Conference (RMAC) Runner of the Year as he captured the men's 8k in 23:58.4 in Denver this past October.
In addition to his many racing accomplishments, Amore recently earned First Team All-Academic honors from the RMAC. He is a Graduate student studying Human Performance and Sport with a 3.92 grade point average.
"Andrew has a long term goal to represent his country in the Olympics," said NMHU Head Coach
Bob DeVries. "Being selected by his national federation for a world championship event is a step in that direction and recognition of his accomplishments here at Highlands University."
