Carroll has been on the conference’s radar for some time with his improved times throughout the season, but his effort at the GVSU Big Meet was just too hard to overlook.
In three different events, the senior made his mark and his going to be a name to keep track of at the conference meet in the near future. He is ODU’s first track and field student-athlete selected for conference weekly honors.
Carroll, also a participants on the Panthers’ cross country squad, ran the 400, 800 and was a member of the 4x4-relay group in Allendale, Mich.
Carroll’s 400-meter dash time of 49.09 placed him fifth in the event, but it also marked the second-fastest time in conference history only behind Findlay’s George Effah (48.49).
He proceeded to record the league’s fastest time in the 800 for the current season with a time of 1:53.77, also the second-best standard in conference indoor history. His impressive weekend showing was capped with a 4x400-meter relay conference record as he, Amir Metts, Draven Bass and Avery Sumpter, were clocked at 3:17.40.
The previous 4x400 conference record was by Hillsdale earlier this year at the SVSU Holiday Open & Multis.
