Sykes shaved 23 seconds off his personal-best time on the 8,000-meter course in San Francisco, Calif., this past weekend. He was the first Argos runner to cross the finish line while leading his team to a fourth-place finish.
Last season he was named to the All-GSC First Team while racking up honors as GSC Runner of the Week twice (9/7 and 10/12) and was also an All-South Region honoree.
