Akinosun named Big 12 Athlete of the Week

AUSTIN, Texas – In her final Nike Clyde Littlefield Texas Relays in a Longhorn uniform, senior Morolake Akinosun had one big goal and she accomplished it. Akinosun blazed down the track in 11.07 seconds to win handily and become the only woman in Texas Relays history to win the 100 meters three consecutive years.

Akinosun's time also ranks her No. 1 in the world this year to date. The senior also was attempting to win four events at the meet after winning three last year. She came away with two.

Akinosun ran the third leg of the Longhorns' victorious 4x400 relay team that ran 3:26.
