NEW YORK CITY — Meghan Hunter clocked 53.01 in the 400-meters to place fifth overall at the Millrose Games Saturday afternoon at The Armory.
Primarily an 800m runner, Hunter was invited to compete in an experienced 400m field at the Millrose Games. She clocked 53.01 to break the Cougars' indoor 400m program record and place fifth overall in the event.
The senior was named the Big 12 Track & Field Athlete of the Week Feb. 5 following her NCAA-leading 800m time of 2:00.21 achieved Jan. 31 at the John Thomas Terrier Classic in Boston.
A two-time First Team All-American in the 800m, Hunter's 400m record is her second BYU all-time mark in just nine days and her fifth throughout her collegiate career in Provo (indoor 400m, indoor 800m, distance medley relay, outdoor 4x400m and outdoor 4x800m).
"Being at Millrose was an incredible experience," said Hunter. "It was such a fun atmosphere and I’m excited to continue this momentum through the rest of the season."
