MURFREESBORO, Tenn. — After a stellar performance in the 2017 Conference USA Championships, senior Elizabeth Dadzie has been named the Female Field Performer of the Meet, the league office announced Friday afternoon.
The Ghana native placed first in a pair of events while claiming High Point Scorer of the Meet honors. Dadzie tallied 34 points to help Middle Tennessee to a second-place finish.
Dadzie began the Championships by breaking a conference meet and school record and took first in the heptathlon with a final score of 5,832 points. She also placed in the top-3 of each heptathlon event.
Continuing in the field, the veteran placed first in the women's long jump, and flashed her versatility on the track with a second-place finish in the 100-meter hurdles.
To round out the weekend, Dadzie finished sixth in the javelin, seventh in the triple jump, and ran the fourth leg for a seventh-place finish in the 4x100-meter relay.
Dadzie seeks to continue her recent success next weekend at the NCAA Outdoor Track and Field East Regional, where she eyes a shot at a national championship in the 100-meter hurdles and in the long jump.
