Youngstown State University track athletes Michael Davis and Samantha Hamilton were named Horizon League Runners of the Week for the week of Feb. 14 following their performances at the Akron Invitational.
Davis placed fourth overall in the 60m, finishing the race in a league-best 6.88 seconds. His time ranks fifth in YSU's record books. He also ran the 200m in a time of 22.18 seconds, which is just shy of his season-best time of 21.98.
Hamilton set a new school record in the mile with a time of 4:56.21 to finish sixth in the gold division. This is also the fourth-best mile time in the Horizon League this indoor season. The previous YSU record was 5:00.99 set by Lauren Blasé in 2010.
The Penguins will compete at the Kent State Tune Up on Feb. 18-19 and will host the Horizon League Indoor Championship meet on Feb. 26-27.
