By Charlie Balcom

Freshman Alexia DeHaven-Boyd is the Mid-South Conference Women's Track Athlete of the Week, conference officials announced on Monday.

The Louisville, Ky., native finished in the top five in each event she competed in at the MSC Championships, including winning the 400-meter hurdles.


She posted a pair of fifth-place finishes in the 100-meter dash and the 200-meter dash with times of 12.81 and 27.00, respectively.

DeHaven-Boyd finished in second place in the 400-meter dash with a time of 1:01.38. She was also part of the 4x100-meter relay team that finished in second with time of 50.49.

Her lone victory came in the 400-meter hurdles with a time of 1:09.34. She accounted for 31 individual points as Lindsey Wilson won the MSC team title.

DeHaven-Boyd earns her first weekly honor of the season and of her career.

Mimms and Mobley sweep MSC Men's Track Athlete of the Week honors

Dondre Mimms is the Mid-South Conference Men's Track Athlete of the Week while teammate Desmond Mobley is the MSC Men's Field Athlete of the Week, conference officials announced on Monday.

Mimms earns the first honor of his career while Mobley earns his fifth conference weekly award this season.

Mimms won each event he competed in at the MSC Championships last weekend. The freshman from Owensboro, Ky., won the 200-meter dash and 400-meter dash with times of 21.19 and 49.38, respectively, setting a new program record and accomplishing a national "A" standard in the process. He topped the previous program record time of 21.56 seconds set back in 2010. Mimms was also on the 4x100-meter relay team that won the event with a time of 41.38, which also qualified as an "A" standard.

Mobley posted three top-three finishes at the MSC Championships, including two victories en route to the field athlete honors. The sophomore from Rochester, N.Y., won the high jump with a height of 1.95 meters, while his distance of the 7.22 meters was the best in the long jump.

His long jump distance hit the national "A" standard.

Mobley also finished third in the triple jump with a distance of 13.95 meters.

The duo of Mimms and Mobley helped the Lindsey Wilson men's team capture the 2016 MSC Track & Field Championship.
