EVANSVILLE, Ind.—University of Southern Indiana senior All-American Johnnie Guy (Palmyra, Indiana) was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Men’s Indoor Track Athlete of the Week for the third consecutive week in a vote by the league’s coaches.

Guy ran the nation’s fastest time in the 5,000 meters this past Friday at the Vanderbilt Invitational as he went wire-to-wire to finish first in the event with an NCAA Division II provisional mark of 14 minutes, 11.28 seconds. He already owns the fastest time in Division II in the 3,000 meters after posting a mark of 8:05.22 at the Gladstein Invitational.

This is the sixth time in Guy’s career he has garnered GLVC Indoor Track Athlete of the Week honors. He has earned a combined nine GLVC Indoor and Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week awards and five GLVC Cross Country Runner of the Week honors.

Guy was the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association Division II Track Athlete of the Week following his performance at the Gladstein Invitational last week.

USI’s men jumped six spots to No. 16 in the latest USTFCCCA Top 25 Computer Rankings. The Screaming Eagles return to action Friday and Saturday when they compete at the Don DeNoon Invitational in Carbondale, Illinois.
