IRVING, Texas – Baylor track & field Nathaniel Ezekiel was named the Big 12 Athlete of the Week for the second time this season, the conference announced on Wednesday afternoon.



The honor comes after Ezekiel’s big weekend in Orlando at the UCF Knights Invite. In his outdoor season-debut in the 400m, Ezekiel put up one of the nation-leading marks in the 400m at 44.75, a new personal best.



Ezekiel’s mark now puts him tied for ninth in Baylor’s historic Quarter-Mile U program marks. The Nigerian is the first Bear to crack the top-10 program marks since Wil London in 2017.



The senior’s mark ranks first in the Big 12, second in the NCAA and 14th in the World for the 2025 season.



WHAT’S NEXT

Baylor track & field will compete in its final regular season meet this Saturday at Texas A&M’s Alumni Muster. The postseason begins on May 15-17 at the Big 12 Outdoor Championships in Lawrence, Kansas.
