Dunston Named A-Sun Athlete of the Week

MACON, GA.-After winning both the 60 and 200 meter dashes at the Liberty Open last weekend, Campbell's Greg Dunston has been named the Atlantic Sun's male Athlete of the Week.

Dunston, a senior from Raleigh, N.C., grabbed his first win of the indoor season in the men's 60 meters, posting the top qualifying time of 6.95, the only competitor to break the 7.00 barrier. Dunston then bettered his time, finishing with a 6.93 clip to take the victory.

In the men's 200 meter race, the senior sprinter walked away with his second win of the day, claiming a time of 22.83, just in front of Liberty's Phil Leineweber, who finished at the 22.85 mark.

The wins were Dunston's fifth and sixth overall of his collegiate career, and his second and third of the indoor variety.

Last season, Dunston, claimed the A-Sun 60 meter indoor championship and all-conference recognition with a time of 6.85, setting a new Campbell record in the process. Dunston also set a school outdoor record last year, trimming the men's 100 meter time to a swift 10.55 at the Winthrop Invitational. Dunston, one of five Camels to qualify for the NCAA's in 2008, was also a winner of the A-Sun's outdoor 100 meter championship last May.

The six-time all-conference performer (three indoor, three outdoor) garnered conference athlete of the week honors once last season, winning a pair of events at the Irwin Belk Invitational (outdoor).

Dunston, a criminal justice major, also came away with a pair of first-place finishes at that event. He was the victor in the 100 meters with a time of 10.90 and the 200 meters in 21.89. The sprinter won the 100m by defeating teammate Cardel Johnson, who placed second.

So far this year, Dunston has posted the A-Sun's top 60 meter time, while claiming the league's second-best 200 meter mark behind East Tennessee State's Quentin Greenlee, who recorded a 22.37 at the Appalachian Indoor Open.

Campbell will be back in action this weekend, traveling to Chapel Hill, NC. for the Carolina Classic on Friday and Saturday.
