He became the first men's individual National Champion in 2016, winning the Discus Title at the NCAA Outdoor Championships. Kicinski was a two-time All-American for the Buffs before transferring to Texas Tech.
 
Kicinski continued to impress during his time in Lubbock as the Red Raiders won the 2019 NCAA Division I Track & Field National Championship, Duke picked up a victory in the discus to become just the second athlete to ever win a discus national championship at the DI and DII level. Kicinski won a pair of Big 12 Championships and qualified for the 2021 U.S Olympic Trials. Following his senior campaign Kicinski was named the USTFCCCA Men's Outdoor Field Scholar Athlete of the Year, Duke is currently the Head Coach of Cross Country and Track at Texas Wesleyan University.
