University of Southern Indiana senior Johnnie Guy (Palmyra, Indiana) was named the Great Lakes Valley Conference Men’s Track Athlete of the Week Wednesday in a vote by the league’s coaches.
Guy posted an NCAA Division II provisional qualifying time in the mile to lead the No. 14 Screaming Eagles in their indoor season opener Saturday at the Little Giant Open. He finished first in the event with a time of four minutes, 15.22 seconds, winning the event over fellow All-American Tyler Pence (Springfield, Illinois) by less than one second. His time is currently the top mark in the GLVC and is fifth in the nation.
This is the fourth indoor weekly award for Guy, who was last honored on February 5, 2015. He has earned a combined seven GLVC Indoor and Outdoor Track Athlete of the Week awards during his career and five GLVC Cross Country Runner of the Week honors.
USI returns to action Friday and Saturday when it competes at the Gladstein Invitational in Bloomington, Indiana, and the University of Indianapolis Collegiate Invitational in Indianapolis.
