CHARLOTTE, N.C. - For the second time this season, Rob Howorth has won Big South Men's Track Athlete of the Week. The conference announced this on Wednesday. 

The Charleston Southern track and field team competed in the Raleigh Regionals last week, with numerous school records being broken. Howorth competed in the 800m and placed 19^th out of 143 competitors with a time of 1:50.81.  

This was a personal best for him for the 2023 season and the third best time of his career. It was his best finish since winning the Charleston Southern Last Chance Qualifier in May of 2022, where he posted a time of 1:50.52. 

Howorth also competed in the 1500m last weekend, where he placed 24^th with a time of 3:45.47, his best finish since recording a time of 3:45.00 in the Duke Invitational last year. 

Including his previous accolade, Howorth is the eighth athlete to receive conference honors. He and the Bucs will have a weekend off before heading to Knoxville, TN on April 7-8 to compete in the Tennessee Relays.
