GREENVILLE, S.C. - Jason Hart and Joshua Faison of Mount Olive have been selected as the first men’s outdoor track & field weekly award winners for Conference Carolinas for the 2023 season.
Hart was named the Track Athlete of the Week, while Faison took home Field Athlete of the Week accolades.
A freshman sprinter from Richmond, Virginia, Hart established the fastest times in Conference Carolinas this year in the 100 and 200 meters following the opening weekend of the outdoor season at the UNCW Seahawk Invitational. In the 100 meters, he secured a second-place finish and the seventh-fastest time in program history after crossing the line in 10.84 seconds to qualify for the league championships. Hart also qualified in the 200 meters following a third-place finish with a time of 21.77 seconds, which ranks fifth all-time at UMO.
A 6-foot-5 senior thrower, Faison surpassed a pair of conference and school records in the initial outdoor meet of the year. In the shot put, he tossed a distance of 16.88 meters to eclipse his previous league record and take first place at the UNCW Seahawk Invitational. Faison also placed first overall in the discus throw with another conference record after posting a mark of 53.17 meters. Both distances achieved this past Saturday were NCAA provisional marks. He is the two-time defending league champion in the events.
