    Scales has the unique distinction of being the only Blue Raider trackman to ever win an esteemed NCAA championship in the sprints. The year was 2003 and the event was the coveted 100-meter dash. He sprinted to the title in a blistering time of 10.25, earning one of his seven career All-American honors.

    In that same 2003 NCAA championship meet, Scales earned a second All-America honor as a member of the third-place 4 x 100 relay team. This relay team’s performance set a school record.

    The native of Franklin, Tennessee closed his career with school records in the 55 meters, 60 meters, 100 meters and 200 meters, as well as running on record-setting relays in the 4 x 100, 4 x 200 and 4 x 400 events.

    Scales won numerous Sun Belt Conference individual titles in his career and was honored as the Sun Belt’s Athlete of the Year in 2003, topping the ballot of the conference’s best in all sports.

    During his Blue Raider career, Scales helped Middle Tennessee win three Sun Belt Conference indoor titles and one outdoor title.
