NEW ORLEANS –– Ryan Hastings became a three-time Sun Belt Conference Track Athlete of the Week, announced by the league office on Wednesday afternoon.
After being announced Athlete of the Week last Friday, Hastings topped his performance in the 800-meter run on day one of the Duke Invitational with a time of 1:48.02 to break his own program record. The time was also a Duke Invite meet and facility record.
