Darin Gooch has been named the Men’s Indoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week after his tremendous all-around performance at the Mid-February Meet, hosted by Baldwin Wallace.
Gooch’s best individual performance came in the long jump, where he established a new conference record by jumping 6.73m or 22’ 1”. He finished second in the event, but has established himself as the person to beat in the upcoming Indoor Conference Championships.
His performance didn’t end there, he placed second in the prelims of the 55m dash, ultimately finishing fifth overall. He also teamed up to win both the 4x200m and 4x400m races.
