In a remarkable display of athletic prowess, Clayton State University’s track and field stars have once again proven their mettle in the highly competitive arena of collegiate sports.
A Leap Above: Hawkins’ High Jump Triumph
Freddie Hawkins, the high-flying Laker, has clinched the Peach Belt Conference Outdoor Track & Field crown with a soaring final height of 1.95m. His remarkable feat at the Savannah State Eyeopener not only set a new personal best but also placed him fourth in the Southeast region with a jump of 2.00m. Hawkins’ performance is a testament to his relentless dedication and the rigorous training regimen at Clayton State.
Hurdling to Success: Ameer’s All-Region Selection
Adriana Ameer, another Laker to watch, has hurdled her way into the spotlight with her all-region selection. Ameer’s agility and speed have made her a formidable competitor on the track, marking her as the first female from Clayton State to receive this honor since 2019. Her achievements reflect the university’s commitment to nurturing top-tier athletic talent.
The Lakers’ Legacy of Excellence
Clayton State’s track and field program has a storied history of cultivating athletes who excel both on and off the field. The recognition of Hawkins and Ameer by the United States Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) is a continuation of this legacy. Their success is a source of pride for the entire Laker community.
