NEW ORLEANS, LA – West Texas A&M Buff, Isaac Botsio, earns the United States Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) National Athlete of the Week for the second time in his career.

Issac Botsio is the fastest man in the world right now. At least in the 100 meters, regardless of wind reading. 

The West Texas A&M sophomore tore across the track at the Jo Meaker Classic and Multi to a 9.90 (+2.2) mark in the 100 meters, which also gave him the second-fastest all-conditions mark in NCAA DII history. Later, Botsio helped the Buffs' 4×100 relay to a time of 39.90.

Despite posting a slew of impressive marks last year, this is the first time in his career that Botsio has dipped below the 10-second barrier. Botsio will need to repeat the feat in a wind legal setting if he wants the divisional record however, as that title resides with former WTAMU standout Benjamin Azamati. 

This is the second time that Botsio has been named M-F Athletic National Athlete of the Week during the Outdoor Track and Field season. Botsio previously earned national weekly honors on April 11, 2023.
