MACON, Ga. – Kennesaw State Track and Field Student Athlete Reginald Lewis was announced as the Atlantic Sun Track and Field Player of the Week by the Conference on Wednesday for his performance at the SIU Fast Start this past weekend.
Lewis, a freshman from Westover Comprehensive High School in Albany, Ga., led the Owls in the running events, as he finished second in the 60-meter dash with a time of 6.86 seconds, breaking the school record as well as placing third in the 200-meter dash with a time of 22.48 to set his second KSU program record. Lewis also missed breaking the long jump record by five centimeters as he placed fifth with a distance of 6.95m.
