In addition, he was a four-time NJAC Cross Country All-Conference team member, while also being named to the cross country All-Region team four straight years. He qualified for the NCAA Division III cross country championships all four years of his collegiate career.
His success continued in track winning the 5k at the 2001 NJAC Championships, and a 10k NCAA qualifying time of 30:52.93, run at the Penn Relays. Coach O'Brien took 14th place in the 10k at the NCAA Division III National Track and Field Championships to complete his running career.
