Biography

Sophomore Season - 2010
Kenyon earned honorable mention All-Ivy League accolades in his second season, starting each of the 14 games he appeared in on the year. He suffered an injury late in the year that kept him out of the lineup for the three final contests of the season. Kenyon added a goal in the Big Red's win against Saint Joseph's on Sept. 16, the second tally of his career. On the other end of the field, at his center-back spot, Kenyon helped to anchor a back line that allowed just 16 goals in 17 games on the year.

Freshman Season - 2009
Kenyon immediately stepped into the starting lineup and filled a critical hole on the back line, starting all 17 matches at central defense. He earned honorable mention All-Ivy League honors for his play on the Big Red's back line. Kenyon's size also made him a key target on set pieces in the offensive third, and he used his height to help record a goal and two assists for four points on the year. Kenyon picked up an assist in the Big Red's season opener at Syracuse, a 2-1 loss. He later assisted on the game's only goal in a 1-0 win against Fairleigh Dickinson on Sept. 20. Kenyon then saved his biggest moment for last, scoring the Big Red's goal in a 1-1 draw with nationally ranked Harvard at Berman Field.

Before Cornell
Kenyon was a two-time second-team all-Western New York honoree and a two-time team captain. He was named the team's most valuable player as a senior, helping to lead his team to the Monsignor Martin Championship. He played club soccer with the Empire United Soccer Academy, serving as team captain for both of the last two seasons.

Personal
Bennett Miles Kenyon is the son of William Kenyon and has an older brother and two older sisters. He is enrolled in the College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
