Ghana’s Martha Bissah earned Most Outstanding Track Athlete honours at the MEAC Indoor Track & Field Championships over the weekend, winning two more gold medals to go with two from earlier in the week as the Spartan women placed fourth at the meet.
Bissah pulled away for victories in the mile (4:53.48) and 3,000 meters (10:13.70) on Saturday. She also ran the anchor leg on the Spartans’ fourth-place 4×400 meter relay team that won its heat.
On Friday, Bissah won the 800 meters and ran anchor on the winning medley relay team.
Bissah is the first NSU female to earn outstanding runner honors at a MEAC indoor meet since All-American sprinter Debbie Dunn in 1999.
The Spartans finished the meet with 72 points. North Carolina A&T won with 145, Florida A&M was second with 94 and Hampton was third with 73.5.
