Southeast Missouri State track and field standout Jarred Pasley earns OVC weekly honors

The Ohio Valley Conference has taken notice of Southeast Missouri State's Jarred Pasley. The runner was named the OVC Co-Male Track Athlete of the Week for a second consecutive week on Wednesday.

Pasley earned a trio of top-10 finishes for the Redhawks at the Notre Dame Meyo Invitational over the weekend, including a 400-meter dash time that is the best in the conference thus far this season. His time of 48.53 currently ranks 52nd in the country.

Pasley added a ninth-place finish in the 200 with a time of 21.89 (fourth in the OVC this season) and helped the SEMO 400 relay team finish seventh in 3:12.71 -- the conference's top time at the competition.

The sophomore from St. Louis also earned the award after last week's meet against SIU Edwardsville.

The Southeast track and field team is back in action this weekend at Purdue's Fred Wilt Invitational in West Lafayette, Indiana.
