Hamlin repeats as C-USA Male Track Athlete of the Week

Western Kentucky’s Dartez Hamlin has repeated as the Conference USA Male Track Athlete of the Week after another stellar weekend, the league office announced Tuesday.

Hamlin earned one of the Hilltoppers’ two event titles at the Samford Indoor Open, winning the 200 meters in his first outing in the event this season.

“What an outstanding debut in the 200 meter for Dartez, showing he is one of the elite sprinters in C-USA,” WKU track and field coach Brent Chumbley said in a news release. “We are excited to see how much faster he runs as the season goes on and we can fine tune some things.
