FULLERTON, Calif. – Cal State Fullerton men's track and field junior Thaddeus Smith was named the Big West Men's Track Athlete of the Week on Tuesday. It is the third weekly honor for the Titans this outdoor season and the second time they have claimed the men's track honor after Rasaun House was honored on March 6.

Smith (Pasadena, Calif./Damien HS) earned his third career Big West Men's Track Athlete of the Week award as he helped the Titans to the team title at the Big West Challenge.  Smith won both the 100-meter and 200-meter dash for the second week in a row.  In the 100m, he clocked 10.57.   His time of 21.00 in the 200m represented the fastest in the Big West this year and placed him at No. 20 in the West Region.  Smith, who won the award twice as a freshman, also competed in the 4x400 relay, and helped the Titan quartet to a season-best time of 3:12.53 for second place in the event.

The Titans return to the track this weekend where the team will be split among three different competitions in Southern California.
