A physics major with a 3.92 G.P.A., Caldwell won the 5,000 and 10,000 meters at the 2014 Mountain West

The native of Betchworth, England, was named trackboundUSA.com’s 2014 Male Track Athlete of the Year.
Caldwell is a three-time MWC Student-Athlete of the Year, twice in indoor track & field in 2013 and 2014, and
