ST. LOUIS – Following a record-breaking performance at Saturday's Iowa State Classic, Illinois State redshirt senior Anderson Devonish has been named the MVC Male Track Athlete of the Week, announced the league Tuesday.
Devonish receives this honor after tying Illinois State's 400-meter school record that had not been touched in over forty years. His event-winning time of 46.50 at Saturday's meet ties Bruce Ijirigho's record that was set in 1975.
With the mark, Devonish currently ranks first in the Valley and 23rd in all of Division I in the 400-meter dash.
