Jack Mehl and Ken Osmun

During his Oakland University career, Ken Osmun literally ran away from the competition. Ken finished in 11^th place in the 10,000 meters at the NCAA Nationals in 1990, with a time of 30.14. He was All-Region and All-Conference from 1986-88 and again in 1990. Ken was Runner of the Year in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and overall GLIAC Conference Champion in 1990. He was also OU’s first All-American cross country runner.

Ken also found time to be a disc jockey for OU’s radio station and to be the maintenance supervisor for OU’s Meadow Brook Health Enhancement Institute. He excelled academically too, earning a grade point average of 3.5 and a bachelor of science degree in mechanical engineering.

After graduation, Ken delayed using an NCAA post-graduation scholarship. Instead he joined the Navy where he is a lieutenant and public worker officer at Great Lake Naval Training Center in the Chicago area. He supervises bas repairs and new construction.
