Track Athlete of the Week
Eric Gregory / Sr / Gallaudet University / Metairie, La. / East Jefferson HS

Gregory posted the fastest 200-meter dash indoor track time in NCAA Division III this season as he crossed the finish line in 21.17 seconds last Saturday at the VMI Invitational. He was one thousandth of a second off his school record time of 21.16 seconds set at the 2023 NCAA Division III Indoor Championships in Birmingham, Ala.

Gregory started the meet with a new school record in the 60-meter dash as he lowered his school mark of 6.93 seconds to 6.91 seconds to finish ninth overall in the semifinal round of the event, as he just missed the cutoff for the finals in a fast field against Division I and II sprinters.

Gregory won the 300-meter dash by over a second with a time of 33.32 seconds out of 62 sprinters. Three weeks earlier, Gregory set the all-time NCAA Division III record in this event with a time of 33.27 seconds. Gregory was also a member of Gallaudet's 4x400 meter relay team that took ninth place at the VMI Invitational with a time of 3:27.64.  This is the 8th Athlete of the Week honor for Gregory who is a two-time NCAA Division III National Champion (400m; 2022 & 2023; outdoors) as well as a four-time All-American.
