Track & Field's Adigun Named C-USA Track Athlete of the Year
May 27, 2009
IRVING, Texas – University of Houston senior Seun Adigun was named the 2009 Conference USA Female Track Athlete of the Year, the conference office announced Wednesday following a vote by the league’s head coaches. Adigun emerged as one of the nation’s elite hurdlers this season. She enters this weekend’s NCAA Midwest Regional ranked third in the NCAA with a time of 12.98 in the 100m hurdles. She recorded that personal-best and winning performance at the Penn Relays. It also marked the second-fastest time in school history. Most recently, the Chicago, Ill., native won her second career C-USA title with a finish of 13.11, earning All-C-USA first team honors. That time was one-tenth of a second off the meet record of 13.10, set by former Cougar Jenny Adams in 2000. Adigun also has set regional marks in the 100m (11.67), 200m (23.85) and as a member of the conference-leading 4X100 relay team (44.30), which ranks eighth in the nation. She is the third female Cougar to take home the coveted award, joining fellow standouts Adams (1997) and Ebonie Floyd (2006, 2007). The Houston track and field team returns to action Friday and Saturday at the 2009 NCAA Midwest Regional in Norman, Okla.
