Darin Gooch has been named the Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Athlete of the Week after his performance at the Tiger Invitational at Wittenberg University.
Gooch posted three top finishes, including a third place finish in the long jump, second place in the 4x100m relay by only .02 seconds, and posted the fastest 100m prelim time, but sat out the finals.
More impressive was that his three marks all were top times/distances in conference this season. His 10.95 second run in the 100m dash was the best mark so far this season. As a member of the 4x100 relay, Gooch and teammates posted a conference low time of 42.87 seconds. Lastly, his jump of 6.54m was a season best in the G-MAC.
