Stewart rates as one of Army’s most decorated cross country and track and field athletes. He was a finalist at both the 1996 and 2000 U.S. Olympic Trials in the 5,000-meter run and was a member of the U.S. National Cross Country Team in 1999 and 2000.

At Army, he was a three-time NCAA All-American, copping two citations in 1994. Stewart graduated second on Army’s all-time list for the 5,000-meter run indoors (currently fifth) and qualified for NCAAs outdoors in the 1,500 and 5,000 meter running events. He captained the 1993 cross country team that earned sixth place at the NCAA Championships, which was the highest since the squad finished third in 1958.

Stewart won the individual title at the 1993 IC4A Cross Country Championships after outdueling 216 runners and was named the Outstanding Male Performer at the 1994 Heptagonal Championships. He was a three-time Patriot League champion, winning a pair of titles in the 1,500-meter run for outdoors and claiming the crown in the 1,000 meter crown for indoors.

As a senior, he led Army to a sweep of Navy in cross country and in indoor and outdoor track, with the spring track win being Army’s first over the Mids in five years. Stewart graduated with Academy records in the 3,000 and 5,000-meter runs (currently second in both) and held the Academy record in the 5,000 meters (currently second), 1,500 meters (currently second), and mile run (currently third). He also graduated in the top 10 in the 1,000-meter run (currently ninth) and was selected to the Patriot League’s 25th Anniversary Team for men’s cross country and track and field.
