Kasper broke Joe Campagna's 5,000-meter school record from 1996 at the Fastrack National Invitational in Staten Island, NY. Kasper is now the only Highlander to ever run under 15:10, indoors or outdoors, for that distance. He won his heat in a time of 15:05.73 (4:52 per mile), which is the fastest mark in the Empire 8 this year, and qualifiers him for the All-Atlantic Region Championships.
