MURFREESBORO, Tenn. - Middle Tennessee's DeRay Sloss was voted the Sun Belt Male Track Athlete of the Week on Tuesday after his performances at the Blue Raider Invitational over the weekend. Sloss won the 55-meter hurdles, finished second in the 200-meters and anchored the mile relay team at the Blue Raider Invitational.
The sophomore finished first in the high hurdles in a personal-best 7.50 and posted a second-place time of 22.29 in the 200. He was the anchor leg on the mile relay that finished in 3:24.84.
The honor is the third in two weeks for the Blue Raiders after sophomores Zamzam Sangau and Sarah Nambawa both garnered awards last week.
The Blue Raiders return to action Saturday at Murphy Center, hosting the Middle Tennessee Classic.
