ARLINGTON, Texas - Abilene Christian swept the first Western Athletic Conference weekly track honors of the indoor season, the conference announced on Wednesday.
Miguel Hall was named the University Credit Union Men's Track Athlete of the Week, while
Madelyn McFadden earned Jersey Mike's A Sub Above Women's Track Athlete of the Week accolades.
It's the first conference recognition of both student-athletes' careers after they competed at Texas A&M's McFerrin 12 Degree Invitational last week. The Wildcats got their season started with two victories and eight top-three placements at the Fasken Indoor Track & Field in College Station, Texas.
Hall began his junior campaign with a third-place performance in the men's 60-meter hurdles, clocking in with a time of 8.03 seconds, only a few fractions off his personal best. He completed the event just five hundredths of a second off of first place. Hall's performance ranked 37th in the nation through the first week of action.
McFadden, a freshman competing in her first collegiate meet, landed in the top three in both events she participated in. The Franklin, Texas product finished in second place amongst 12 student-athletes in the women's 600-meter, recording a time of one minute and 35.12 seconds. McFadden was one of two Wildcats in the top three, as
Jalyn Childers came in at 1:36.23.
McFadden later capped ACU's 4x400 relay that placed second in 3:50.94. She completed her split in 58.24 while teaming up with
Anna Vyn,
Emma Santoro and
Gracee Whiteaker. The relay's time is the 40th-best in the country.
The Wildcats return to action in 2026 at the Corky Classic, hosted by Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas on Jan. 16-17, 2026.
