IRVING, Texas – Baylor senior Hasani Barr has been named the Big 12 Track & Field Men’s Athlete of the Week, as announced by the conference on Wednesday afternoon.



Making his outdoor season debut, Barr swept the 200- and 400-meter races at the North Texas Classic on Saturday.



A senior from St. Louis, Mo., Barr is the first Bear to win a weekly conference honor this season.



Barr leads the Big 12 and is tied for 11th nationally in the quarter mile, running a 46.10-second race in Denton. In the 200 meters, Barr went sub-21 for the first time with a new PB of 20.98 seconds.



In a record-setting indoor season, Barr was a part of the 400-meter trio that qualified to the finals at the NCAA Indoor Championships and now holds spot No. 5 on the indoor Baylor all-time list in the event.



Barr and the Bears compete at the Tom Jones Memorial in Gainesville, Fla., on Friday and Saturday at the James G. Pressly Stadium. The meet will be streamed on SEC Network+.
