BOCA RATON, Fla. – For the fourth time in 2019,
Natalliah Whyte of the Florida Atlantic University track and field team has been named the Conference USA Female Track Athlete of the Week. It's her second honor of the outdoor season after receiving the award twice during the indoor season.
Whyte broke the FAU record in the 200 meter dash on Saturday at the Hurricane Alumni Invite with a time of 23.28 for third place. It is the fourth event that Whyte now tops in the FAU record book along with the 100 meter and the 60 and 200 indoor times.
Her 100 and 200 meter outdoor times are the tops in C-USA this season thus far. Her 11.17 time in the 100 meter ranks sixth in the NCAA currently.
Her impressive outdoor season comes after a successful indoor season that saw the St. Catherine, Jamaica native win two gold medals at the C-USA Indoor Championship in the 60 meter and 200 meter after breaking school records all season long. She was also the highest individual points earner at the C-USA Championship and was later voted the Top Performer of the Meet on the track side.
Whyte and the Owls will be back on the track April 26-27 at the Tom Jones Invitational in Gainesville, Florida.
