COLUMBIA, S.C. (April 30, 2024) – Following yet another successful weekend on the track, freshman phenom JaMeesia Ford was named SEC Women’s Co-Runner of the Week as announced by the league office on Tuesday afternoon.

Ford took home the crown in the 100m and the 200m, setting personal bests in both events. The North Carolina native clocked 11.13 in the 100m for the fifth fastest 100m in program history, while also ranking 12th in the NCAA and ninth in the East Region. She set a new program record in the 200m when she ran 22.21, setting a new NCAA leading time in the 200m sprint.
