Justin Meredith, Albion, Men’s Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week

Justin Meredith earned the Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week honors from the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) on Tuesday for meets through April 24.

Meredith, a senior from Detroit, earned track athlete honors by winning two sprints and anchoring a second-place relay squad at the Polar Bear Invitational at Ohio Northern last weekend. His sprint finishes each top the MIAA and rank among the top 10 times in Division III nationally this season. Meredith won the 100-meter dash in 10.64 to set a meet record and rank No. 3 in the country. He also took first in the 200-meter dash in a time of 21.54 to rate No. 9 nationally while setting a stadium record. He also anchored Albion’s second-place 4x100 meter relay team (43.26).
