Athlete and Official of the Month




February Athlete of the Month

 

February USATF Texas Southern Athlete of the Month 🏆

Huge congratulations to Garrett Kaalund – earning USATF Texas Southern Athlete of the Month for February after an electrifying showing at the Big Ten Indoor Track & Field Championships! 📸

The USC senior absolutely delivered in Indianapolis, clocking a blazing 20.06 seconds in the men’s 200 meters to not only take home the Big Ten title but also set a new meet and facility record and record the #1 mark in the world for the season — moving him into the top three fastest indoor 200m performances in history!

His elite sprint wasn’t his only highlight this season — earlier, Garrett also ran 20.12 to break the USC indoor school record, and he’s been a consistent force on the indoor circuit with dominant times across the board.

📍 From dominating conference competition to earning this well-deserved USATF honor, Garrett continues to raise the bar and represent San Antonio, where he’s originally from, with speed and grace!
