Wrice Earns SEC Men’s Freshman of the Week
COLUMBIA, S.C. (Jan. 21, 2025) – For the second consecutive week, a member of the South Carolina Track & Field team will be taking home some hardware. This time, freshman runner Josiah Wrice has earned the honor of the SEC Men’s Freshman of the Week, as announced by the league office on Tuesday afternoon.
Wrice ran in his first collegiate 400m race at the Corky Classic this weekend and finished fourth overall with a time of 46.38. His 400m debut ranks sixth in the NCAA and sixth all-time in Gamecock Indoor Track & Field history. The freshman then opened the 4x400m for South Carolina on Saturday afternoon, aiding the Gamecocks in a fourth-place finish with a season-best time of 3:07.46. His opening 400m split of 46.29 helped South Carolina run the fifth fastest time in the country.
Wrice and the Gamecocks will be back in action at the Ted Nelson Invite this weekend in College Station, Texas. The two-day meet will begin on Friday afternoon.
