AUSTIN, Texas – Julien Alfred of the No. 1 Texas women's track and field team added Big 12 Performer of the Week honors to her name after her world-leading 60m dash win.
In her first 60m race of the season, Alfred was just .01 second off her NCAA record-time of 7.04 she set at the 2022 NCAA Indoor Championships. She later broke her own NCAA record in the finals with a time of 7.02, becoming the 20th-fastest performer in history.
Her time earned her USTFCCCA Co-National Athlete of the Week honors and gave her the three fastest 60m times in NCAA history. On top of that, she holds the top-five times in UT history.
The eight-time All-American also produced the second-fastest 200m time in the world this season (22.71) behind her teammate Rhasidat Adeleke (22.52).
Wednesday's honor marks Alfred's third Big 12 Indoor Performer of the Week award in her career.
