KANSAS CITY, Mo. – For the second-consecutive installment, Fort Hays State track and field senior Brett Meyer has been named the MIAA Track Athlete of the Week. The conference office released the news on Tuesday (Jan. 29).
This time around, Meyer is being recognized after boasting the nation’s top time so far this season in the mile run. Meyer did so this time at the Pittsburg State Invitational over the weekend. His time of 4:06.08 crossed him past the finish line into first place at the meet. Meyer bettered a field of 62 runners where he finished second only to an NCAA Division I competitor.
This week, Meyer was named Co-Athlete of the Week alongside Washburn’s Jacob Klemz who captured the fourth-fastest NCAA DII time in the 3,000-meters with his time of 8:17.51.
