Student-Athlete of the Week presented by GEICO May 11, 2009

Senior track and field student-athlete Carlos Jamieson has been named the American University Student-Athlete of the Week presented by GEICO, Department of Athletics officials announced. Jamieson placed second out of 63 total runners in the men's 1500 meter run at the Swarthmore Last Chance Meet.

His time of 3:42.43 was a full three-plus seconds ahead of the third-place finisher. Villanova's Matthew Gibney took home the title, squeaking past Jamieson by less than one-half of a second.

This is the fifth time Jamieson has received the AU Student-Athlete of the Week, presented by GEICO, in the two-year history of the award. Most recently, he was honored on November 3, 2008, after placing fourth in the Patriot League Cross Country Championships. This performance earned him First Team All-Patriot League Honors.
