LSU sprinter Godson Oghenebrume was rewarded Tuesday for a couple of impressive performances in the Alumni Gold meet on Saturday.
Oghenebrume was named U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association national athlete of the week Tuesday morning, then later was selected the Southeastern Conference runner of the week.
A sophomore from Nigeria, Oghenebrume won the 100 meters with a wind-aided time of 9.97 seconds, the second-fastest time posted by a collegian this season.
His time did not go down as a personal record because it was aided by a 2.3 meters per second tailwind.
He started his day by anchoring the Tigers’ 4×100-meter relay team to a nation-best clocking of 38.36. The team also included Brandon Hicklin, Dorian Camel and Da’Marcus Fleming.
