BOCA RATON, Fla. – Natalliah Whyte of the Florida Atlantic University track and field team can once again add to her accolades from this season, this time adding Conference USA Female Track Athlete of the Year to her belt.
The award was given out for the entire 2019 track and field season, including both indoor and outdoor competition.
Earlier this week Whyte was named a U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Second Team All-American, the first All-American in program history. She was given the award after qualifying for the NCAA Championship Semifinals in the 100 meter dash in Austin, Texas which was also a first for the program. Whyte won gold in the 100 meter at the C-USA Championship after setting a facility record for the Irwin Bell Track in Charlotte, North Carolina. Her time of 11.16 in the NCAA East Regionals set a new school record and she previously broke the school record in the 200 meter dash during the regular season.
During the indoor season, Whyte claimed first in the 60 and 100 meter dashes at the C-USA Championships in Birmingham, Alabama and set school records in both categories along the way. She was named the Championship's Highest Point Earner and was later voted the Performer of the Meet by the C-USA coaches.
This summer the St. Catherine, Jamaica native will turn her sites on the goal of making the Jamaican National Team in hopes of competing for her home country in the IAFF World Championships in the fall. She'll be competing in Jamaica's National Championships during the summer months.
