SPARTANBURG, S.C. — Stanley Broaden, a sophomore sprinter at Appalachian State, was named the Southern Conference Student-Athlete of the Week for Feb. 27, the league office announced today.

The win marks the second year in a row that the Mountaineers have claimed the 60m hurdles title, and helped the Mountaineers claim the men’s indoor track & field championship crown.

The exercise science major holds a 3.66 GPA.
