Hampton University Athletics

Hampton University freshman Chidi Okezie was named HU Athlete of the Week after his outstanding performance on the track this past weekend.

Okezie (Philadelphia, Pa.) was a big reason why the men’s track & field team finished third in the IC4A Outdoor Championships this past weekend in Princeton, N.J., recording a third-place finish in the 400-meter dash with a 47.02 – after running a season-best 46.11 in the preliminary heats.

He was also on the 4x100-meter relay team that finished third with a 40.35 and the 4x400-meter relay team that came in sixth after clocking in at 3:12.74.
