SINGH TRACK ATHLETE OF THE WEEK X2

Gabe Singh (Toledo, Ohio/Sylvania Northview/Oakland) was recently tabbed MAC Men’s Track Athlete of the Week for the second time this season after bettering his conference-best 400m hurdles time to 50.62 seconds, finishing first at the Jesse Owens Classic, hosted by Ohio State University, May 2-3.  His time ranks second in the Great Lakes Region, 17th on the East Qualifying List, 36th in the nation, and third in EMU program history. He cruised to a first-place finish by a wide margin as he finished .51 seconds ahead of the runner-up (51.13) for his first win in the event this season. Singh bested five other MAC sutdent-athletes in the race and finished ahead of two Power Four student-athletes. He posted the fastest time in the region, sixth-best time on the East Qualifying List, and 14th-fastest time in the nation over the weekend.

 

The honor marks the second of the season for Singh as he previously garnered the accolade after running what was then a conference-best 400m hurdles mark of 50.67 seconds, placing third at the 44 Farms Team Invitational, hosted by Texas A&M University, April 11–12.

The award is Eastern Michigan’s fourth of the outdoor season and brings the team’s total to seven on the 2024-25 campaign as Lachlan Cornelius (Brisbane, Australia/Anglican Church Grammar School) most recently earned the award, April 29, before Singh and Saraiah Walkes (Manatee County, Fla./The-Out-of-Door-Academy) each earned it, April 15, prior to Lucky Fiaku (Nimo, Nigeria/Busy International Secondary) (field) and Josephine Oloye (Iwaro-Oka, Nigeria/Geomi Secondary School/Tayelolu Memorial) (track) garnering the award in the indoor season, Dec. 10, and Carson McCoy (Pittsburgh, Pa./Deer Lakes) (track) earning the recognition, Feb. 11.

 

SINGH’S HISTORIC RUN IN 400M HURDLES

Singh’s run in the 400m hurdles this season is approaching historic levels as he is just .72 seconds shy of tying for the MAC record (49.90) set by Central Michigan University’s Al Washington in 1988, .54 seconds away from tying for the EMU program record, held by Jeff Dils (1979), and .16 seconds from tying former Eagle and Olympian Eric Alejandro (Rio de Janeiro – 2016) for the second-best time in program history (50.51 – 2008).

 

SARAIAH WALKES: 1/1

Walkes leads the MAC in the 100m (11.61), 200m (23.30), and 400m (52.88). She is the only female sprinter out of all 33 NCAA Division I Track & Field Conferences to lead her respective conference in all three events.

Singh bettered his conference-best time in the 400m hurdles, placing first in 50.62.

 

On the women’s side, freshman Ashtan Winfrey (Columbus, Ohio/Columbus Africentric Early College) put on a show in the long jump in front of a hometown crowd, leaping 5.83m (19-01.50) for the best mark of the meet, a personal-best, and the eighth-best jump in the MAC this season.
