Sprinter Earns Sun Belt Runner Of The Week Honors

The Mean Green track and field team will return to action May 7 at the UTA Invitational.

DENTON (5-03-05) - Rachael Runnels was named the Sun Belt Conference Women's Track Athlete of the Week for her two gold-medal performance at the Jason's Deli Mean Green Twilight Invitational.

Runnels won gold in the 4x100-meter relay and the 200-meter dash, qualifying for the NCAA Regional Meet in both events.

The relay's time of 45.33 set a school record and is the 13th fastest time in the region this season and the second fastest time by a team from the Sun Belt Conference.

The freshman finished the 200-meters in 23.95, the fourth fastest time in school history and the 13th best in the region.

This is the first time Runnels has been selected to the honor and the third time a North Texas athlete has been named this season.

The Mean Green has one final tune up meet, the UTA Invitational, before it heads to New Orleans for the Sun Belt Conference Outdoor Championships. After taking the indoor crown in February, the women's team has a chance to sweep with a victory in the Crescent City.

      Man, I thought I was the only one noticing it. That's what I meant by hot lol I think it's a roster thing: There's just nothing UAB has that Memphis can't handle. And focus doesn't seem to be an issue for the Tigers in this particular matchup. I certainly hope tomorrow is the exception. Would love for this to be a two-bid year in the AAC.

      Wow, what did you do with Andrew, did you jump into @NorthTexasWeLove's body? I was just talking about this with some guys at the game. We need 3 and D. We have D, but no 3. Not sure if anyone realized, but we didn't make a 3 until first part of the second half. That is terrible.

      I'm surprised that people think these guys can't make layups. We averaged 3400 at the Super Pit and went 15-1 and you could feel the excitement. Those guys deserved that this year and I was just hoping to feel that today. GMG

      On the bright side

      On the bright side Latrell jossell upped his season FG% from the entire floor to a whopping 34% after tonight. Craaaaazy. Never seen a FG% that bad from someone so meaningful to a rotation. Maybe we should get some youngins in before they all transfer out!
