One of the most consistent and awarded runners in Morehead State history, Faith's MSU career culminated in him being crowned an OVC Champion.

Faith was the individual OVC champion and the league Runner of the Year in 1996. He helped lead the Eagles to perhaps their most successful three-year run (1994-96) in program history, including being the lead runner on the team that won the 1995 OVC championship.

Faith is also one of a small contingent of former Eagles to ever be named First-Team All-OVC three consecutive seasons.

In his career, Faith compiled 15 top-10 finishes in races and helped the Eagles claim nine team wins in 1994-96.

In track, he also excelled. Faith was the 1996 OVC indoor and outdoor 5,000 meter champion. He also won the OVC individual 10,000 meter title in outdoor for 1996 and 1997.

Faith attended North Harrison High School in Ramsey, Ind.  Although recruited by then-MSU Head Coach Dan Lindsey, he elected to attend Neosho County (Kan.) Community College where he led the school to its first-ever appearance in the junior college national cross country championships in 1993.  Faith then transferred after one year and joined the Morehead State program prior to the 1994-95 season. 

Faith, who earned bachelor's (1997) and Master's Degree from MSU, currently works at Crossroads Academy in Georgia as Assistant Coordinator after serving more than 10 years as Assistant Principal and Athletics Director at South Effingham High School in Guyton, Ga.

Faith resides in Rincon, Ga., with his wife Jennifer and two children, Micah and Calleigh.
