He was named the Frontier Conference's Cross Country Athlete of the Week seven times during his career and twice won the NAIA National Runner of the Week honor.
 
In track, Atkin won two NAIA indoor and outdoor titles. He won the 3,000 meter indoor title in both 2013 and '16, and was second in 2015.
