Hamilton was voted as a First Team recipient, joining Alec Nehring (2020) as the only MSU men's track and field student-athletes to earn honors among the top 16 individuals in the nation. He became the seventh Bobcat on the men's squad, and the 10th overall in program history, to earn Academic All-America accolades.
The Bozeman native was an NCAA Championship qualifier for the Cross Country, Indoor and Outdoor Track and field seasons, joining Shannon Butler (1990-91) and Lyle Weese (2002-03) as the only Bobcats ever to qualify for all three in a calendar year. Along with Second Team All-America honors in the mile at the NCAA Indoor Championships, Hamilton finished his college season as a First Team performer by placing fifth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase at Hayward Field in Eugene.
Hamilton set program records in both the 1,500 and the steeplechase during the outdoor season. He completed a back-to-back title pursuit in the steeplechase at the Big Sky Outdoor Championships in May, while he also finished with a silver medal in the 1,500. His summer race schedule featured a finals appearance at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in the steeplechase, a first-place finish in the Montana Mile at the Big Sky State Games which came in a record-breaking effort and an upcoming appearance at the Montana Distance Festival in Libby. On the academic side, Hamilton currently boasts a 3.79 cumulative GPA while majoring in mechanical engineering.
Montana State's cross country team is the program's next team up for the 2021-22 schedule. The Bobcats are gearing up to host the MSU Cross Country Classic on Sept. 18 at Bridger Creek Golf Course.
