DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - Track and Field sweep the Wildcats of the Week awards after their performances this past weekend. Darryn Hough and Andrew Kiplagat have been named Wildcats of the Week for the week of January 25-February 1, 2026. 

Darryn Hough took 3rd place at The Legends of Alachua County Invitational in the Women's High Jump. The Freshman cleared a mark of 1.56m (5', 1.25"). This is not the first time she has scored high this spring. At the Gamecock Opener she placed 5th and 15th at the Jimmy Carnes Invitational. 

Andrew Kiplagat continues to set the bar high as he set another program record this weekend. The new time to beat is 14:24.25 in the 5K. Earlier in January, he was named SWAC Track-Athlete of the Week after setting yet another program record and securing 1st place in the 3000m. The Junior is making an early and apparent case for Outstanding Track Performer of the Year.

Each week, the Bethune-Cookman Office of Athletic Communications recognizes one male and one female student-athlete through the Wildcats of the Week award.

This award recognizes student-athletes who have excelled in competition, in the classroom, and in the community over the past week, exemplifying the Championship Culture of Wildcat Athletics.
