BIRMINGHAM – Texas A&M men's sprint medley relay and Serena Brown were selected for SEC weekly honors. The Aggie sprint medley crew of Fred Kerley, Elijah Morrow, Mylik Kerley and Devin Dixon shared Runner of the Week accolades with Tennessee's Christian Coleman. Brown was chosen as Freshman of the Week.
 
A collegiate record of 3:11.94 secured the victory for Texas A&M in the sprint medley relay as they bettered the previous record of 3:12.13 set by Arkansas in 2000. The time also ranks sixth on the all-time world and U.S. list.
 
Three members of the sprint medley – Dixon and both Kerleys – also ran on the winning 4x400 for the Aggies as they posted a world-leading time of 3:00.74.
 
Brown improved her previous best in the discus by seven feet as she won the first event contested at the SEC Relays. Brown's throw of 186-6 (56.84) improved her Bahamas national record and she is currently ranked second on the 2017 world junior list.
