GREENVILLE, S.C. – A record-breaking weekend at the VMI Winter Relays paid dividends for
Dy'Air McCormick on Tuesday as she was named as a Conference Carolinas Co-Track Athlete of the Week, officials announced Tuesday morning.
A native of Mebane, McCormick started weekend competition with fourth-place finishes in both the preliminaries of the 60-meter Dash, as well as in the semifinals of that discipline. The redshirt junior nearly matched her personal-best time with a time of 7.90 in the preliminary round, and a mark of 7.80 in the semifinals.
McCormick closed out the weekend by breaking her own school record in the 200-meter Dash after registering a new time of 25.50. She currently holds the second-fastest time in Conference Carolinas for the 200-meter Dash, and sits comfortably in fourth place in the league in the 60-meter Dash.
