Fosuhene earns SLC Athlete of the Year, Outstanding Running Events Performer honors, DI era-best 16 named to All-SLC teams

FRISCO – East Texas A&M University track and field sprinter Enoch Fosuhene has been named the Southland Conference Men's Athlete of the Year and Men's Track Athlete of the Year on Thursday, highlighting 16 all-conference honorees for the Lions during the outdoor season.
 
Fosuhene (Accra, Ghana) was also named the Most Valuable Performer at the Southland Outdoor Conference Championships last week, winning the conference title in the 100 meter dash, while finishing as the runner up in the 200 meter dash, and winning the bronze medals in the 4x100 meter relay and the 4x400 meter relays.
 
He is the third Lion since joining the Southland to be named men's athlete of the year and men's track athlete of the year, joining former Lions Ibrahim Fuseini in 2025 and J.T. Smith in 2023.
 
His season-best times in both the 100 meter dash and the 200 meter dash rank among the top 20 in the NCAA West Region. He ran a time of 10.06 seconds in the 100 meter dash last week, which is ninth in the region and tied for 18th in the country.
 
The 16 all-conference honorees for this year's outdoor champions surpass the 13 during the 2023 Outdoor SLC Championships for the most at an indoor or outdoor conference championships in the Division I era.
 
Along with Fosuhene, the other six conference champions for the Lions at last week's meet in Nacodgoches are also named to first team all-Southland. On the men's side, Oguz Uyar (Cannakale, Turkey) in the 200 meter dash and Calen Jones (Duncanville) are the other two first team all-conference honorees.
 
For the Lion women, four are named to first team all-conference. Peyton Berry (Argyle) won the pole vault title, Romi Griese (Salzkotten, Germany) is the discus champion, Jenniel Jacobie (Piat Grand Rivière, Saint Lucia) took home the gold medal in the high jump, and Sandy Sakyi (Bremen, Germany) was the winner in the 100 meter hurdles.
 
Uyar is named to second team all-conference in the 100 meter dash. Fosuhene is a second-team all-conference honoree in the 200 meter dash, and Cheyne West (Rochester, England) won a silver medal in the 400 meter hurdles on the men's side. On the women's side, Amara Idinna (Viry-Châtillon, France) and Kira van den Ham (Bunnik, The Netherlands) were the second-team all-conference honorees in the high jump and pole vault, respectively.
 
Idinna was also a third-team all-conference honoree in the women's 100 meter hurdles and West won a bronze medal in the men's 110 meter hurdles.
 
Both the men's 4x100 meter relay and the men's 4x400 meter relay were named to third team all-conference. Fosuhene, Uyar, Kingsley Ayebide (Burutu, Nigeria), and Jayshon Hardimon (Lake Dallas) ran the 4x100 meter relay, while Fosuhene, West, Myles Redding (Waco – University), and Cam Wooley (Frisco – Liberty) made up the quartet in the 4x400 meter relay.
