Green Adds Big Ten Weekly Honor
April 30, 2025 | Track & Field
SEATTLE -- Already owning the National Athlete of the Week distinction, senior Nathan Green also picked up the Big Ten Men's Track Athlete of the Week honor today, celebrating his anchoring of the Husky relay squads to a pair of victories at the Penn Relays.
Competing at the legendary Penn Relays at Franklin Field in Philadelphia, the Huskies captured the Distance Medley Relay Championship of America on Friday, Apr. 25, and then on Saturday, Apr. 26, they took home the 4xMile Championship of America, hoisting the famous Wheel trophies on consecutive days.
In Friday's DMR, Ronan McMahon-Staggs ran the opening 1200-meter leg in 2:57.70, then handed to Bodi Ligons for the 400-meters, who posted the second-fastest split in the field of 46.08. Kyle Reinheimer then had the fastest 800m split in the field in 1:46.29, passing to Green for the 1,600m anchor. Green took the baton in third place but had moved up to second going into the final lap and he pulled away down the homestretch to win by more than a second, splitting a time of 3:55.15.
Saturday's 4xMile turned into a tactical affair as hard rain made for less than ideal conditions to chase record times. McMahon-Staggs again led off, then Martin Barco carried followed by Rhys Hammond. Green's anchor carry was tactical once again between four of the most decorated and fastest milers the NCAA has ever seen.
Green made the first decisive move, which North Carolina's anchor countered with a surge to retake the lead, but Green sustained his kick longer and moved past UNC again down the homestretch for the victory. All told the Huskies ran 16:24.61.
