ATHENS, Ga. --- Bulldog sophomore sprinter Christopher Morales Williams has been named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) South Region Indoor Men's Runner of the Year, according to a recent announcement.
Morales Williams, a native of Vaughan, Ontario, garners the fourth honor of this kind for the Bulldogs. The late great Torrin Lawrence earned the award in 2009-10 and 2012.
Morales Williams won the NCAA 400-meter dash title with the No. 5 collegiate time in history (44.67) last weekend. To open the postseason, he clocked a collegiate/Canadian record 44.49 to win the Southeastern Conference 400m championship with the world's best indoor time in history.
Morales Williams also registered a 32.47 in the 300m at the Clemson Invitational, making him the No. 6 all-time collegiate performer in the event this season. The 2024 SEC Indoor Men's Runner of the Year was named the USTFCCCA National Men's Athlete of the Week and the SEC Men's Runner of the Week earlier in the year.
