NEW ORLEANS – Little Rock sophomore Cameron Jackson was named the Sun Belt Conference's Men's Track Athlete of the Week after running the fourth-fastest 100m dash time in league history and the 18th-fastest time in the world this season.
With a time of 10.10 at the Little Rock Twilight on April 15, Jackson broke the 18-year old record of 10.14 previously held by Chris Johnson and set back in 2004. It registers as the fourth-fastest time ever ran by a Sun Belt athlete and marks a league best this season. He currently ranks seventh in the nation in the event and has virtually assured himself of a qualifying place at the NCAA West Preliminary Championships in late May.
