Adrian Martin has been named the Lee University Female Athlete of the Week after a strong showing at the National Christian College Athletic Association Outdoor Track and Field National Championships in Rome, Ga.
Martin led the way with two second-place finishes and two NCCAA All-American honors. The sophomore from Marietta, Ga. Â finished the 100 meter dash in 12.20, just 0.06 seconds behind Shorter's Kemor Anderson. In the 200 meter dash, Ayana Walker (Shorter) set the meet record at 23.53, while Martin (24.12) was 0.6 seconds faster than Anderson.
"Adrian ran two great races," said Lee head coach Caleb Morgan. She recorded a personal record in the 200 meter, but it wasn't quite enough. The athlete Adrian finished just off of in the 200 meter is an NCAA Division II champion. That gives us a really good idea of where Adrian will stack up next year when we can compete in the postseason."
As a team the Lady Flames track squad finished 12th at the NCCAA Championships. Lee placed eight athletes in scoring position (top eight) and had two athletes join Martin in earning NCCAA All-American status in four different events.
