Nov. 2, Fauble placed third overall and helped the Pilots to a second place team finish. This All-Conference finish was just the beginning to his illustrious November campaign.
Two weeks later at the NCAA West Regional, Fauble rubbed elbows with the best in the West and finished fourth over the 10k course. He earned his second consecutive All-Region certificate with the performance. The Pilots finished third in the Region and earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Championships the following week.
At the NCAA Championships, Fauble ran through dreadful conditions for a 13

"It feels good to be recognized for a season's worth of hard work," said Fauble. "But, what matters most to me is if our team succeeds and, thankfully, we had a lot of that this year."
