Gayle-Woodley and Stovall Earn Final Men's Outdoor Weekly Honors

The Wolverine-Hoosier Athletic Conference (WHAC) has announced its latest Men's Outdoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week awards, presented by Tarkett Sports Construction. Student-athletes are nominated by their host institutions and selected via a vote by the conference's sports information directors.

This week's honors recognize a freshman sprinter who climbed the national leaderboards in Ohio and a junior thrower who proved his elite status against Division I competition at the historic Drake Relays.


Track Athlete of the Week

Daiveon Gayle-Woodley, Indiana Tech

Freshman Daiveon Gayle-Woodley earns Track Athlete of the Week honors following a breakout performance at the Mount Union Classic. Competing in a deep field of 42 athletes, Gayle-Woodley sped to a season-best time of 46.36 seconds in the 400-meter dash. This first-place finish not only improved his NAIA "A" Standard but also moved him into the No. 3 spot in the national rankings, marking him as one of the fastest newcomers in the country.
