Adeshina earns her second weekly honor in as many days as she was named the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) National Athlete of the Week Tuesday afternoon. Her 1.96m (6-5) clearance heads into the weekend as the top mark in the world and NCAA.

Dean opened his 2024 season last Saturday posting a 60m hurdles finals time of 7.55 for the NCAA lead and second in the world. He also ran the first leg of Tech's 4x400 team that posted an NCAA-leading time of 3:04.71.
