Former Ute runner Teren Jameson has been selected to represent the United States at the World Half Marathon Championships on Saturday in Vilamoura, Portugal. Jameson has also been selected to run on the United States team at the Chiba Ekiden Marathon Relay on Nov. 20.

"Teren has continued to improve in his post-collegiate career. He placed 10th at the U.S. 10K Championships and fourth at the U.S. Half Marathon Championships," said Brian Appell, Utah Track Club and University of Utah coach. "He is fast becoming a factor on the U.S. scene." While at Utah, Jameson was a two-time All-American in cross country and a three-time Academic All-American. He was named the 2002 Verizon Academic All-American Division I Track Team Member of the Year. Upon graduation, Jameson was awarded an NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship and Utah's Dr. Burtis Evans Award for academic achievement. The Taylorsville native garnered distinction as the University of Utah's outstanding electrical engineering student, served as vice president for the Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and was recognized with the President's Award.
