GREENVILLE, S.C. – Furman's Carson Williams and Madelynne Cadeau have been named the Southern Conference men's and women's outdoor track athletes of the week, respectively, the conference office announced Wednesday.
Selections were made by panels of the league's track and field coaches and included all outdoor competition from April 5-11.
Competing at the Duke Invitational on Friday, Williams turned in the top mark in the SoCon this season in the 1,500-meter run, finishing 11th in the invitational race in 3:44.70. That time was the second-fastest of his collegiate career and came in his season debut in the event.
