NASHVILLE, Tenn. — After recording wins in the 400 meters and as a member of the 4×400-meter relay in the Commodores’ outdoor track and field season debut, Vanderbilt’s Faith Franklin was named the SEC Freshman of the Week by the league on Tuesday.
At the Hampton Inn River City Relays, Franklin recorded a personal-best time of 52.73 seconds in the 400 meters, which ranked third in program history.
