Brian Leiter was a four-time All-American in three different mid-distance events. He concluded his career with four individual school records and was an eight-time Mason-Dixon Conference selection.
 
As a senior, Leiter became Frostburg State’s first-ever All-American in the 1,500-meter run with a third-place finish (3:53.68) at the NCAA Championships. He claimed another All-American nod with a sixth-place effort (1:51.85) in the 800-meter run. His 1:50.50 effort to win the 800 at the 2009 ECAC Championships set both the FSU and ECAC records.
 
During his senior indoor campaign, Leiter collected All-American laurels in the mile run with a school-record 4:10.08, to place fourth at the NCAA Championships. He collected an ECAC Championship in the 800-meter run (1:53.44) and a Mason-Dixon conference crown in the mile run (5:15.25).
 
As a junior, Leiter earned his first career All-American award by taking fifth in the 800 (1:52.48) and narrowly missed out on another All-American showing with a ninth-place finish in the 1,500 (3:54.37) at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. He claimed the ECAC Title in the 800 (1:51.90) and the Mason-Dixon Championship in the 1,500 (3:54.37).
 
As a sophomore, Leiter earned All-ECAC honors in the 800-meter run in both the indoor and outdoor seasons. He competed in the NCAA Championship preliminaries in the 2007 outdoor season, and collected Mason-Dixon titles in the 800 (1:54.32) and 1,500 (3:58.11) the same season.
 
As a freshman, he won the Mason-Dixon Championship in the outdoor 1,500 (4:05.33) and indoor 800 (1:58.28) and was All-ECAC in the 800 in both indoor and outdoor seasons.
 
As a cross-country runner, Leiter was a two-time All-AMCC runner in 2006 and 2007. He was a member of the Bobcats’ 2005 AMCC Championship squad.
