DES MOINES – After a showcase sprinting performance in Iowa last week, Ole Miss senior Isiah Young earned the Maury White Award as the Most Outstanding Performer in the men’s college and invitational division during the 104th Drake Relays.

The award is voted on by members of the media that covered the Drake Relays.

Young repeated as the Drake Relays champion in the university 100-meter dash with a school-record time of 10.07 in a slight (+2.1) wind. Had it not been for the tailwind that was just 0.1 meters per second over the allowable windspeed, the 2012 Olympian’s performance would have been a Drake Relays record and broken the 30-year-old mark of 10.11 set by Alabama’s Calvin Smith in 1983. He also anchored Ole Miss’ 4×100 and 4×400-meter relays, with the 4×1 unit clocking the second-best time in school history at 39.69.

Next up for Young and the Rebels is the SEC Outdoor Championships, May 9-12 in Columbia, Mo.
