(Tucson, AZ) Pima Community College men’s track & field competitor Noah Macias (Mica Mountain HS) produced a record-breaking performance in the 800 meters last Saturday at the GCC Indoor Invitational and received recognition from the ACCAC conference.
Macias, a freshman distance runner, was named ACCAC Co-Track Athlete of the Week as he shared the honor with Jaden Laffitte from Mesa Community College.
Macias took first place in the 800-meter race with a time of 1 minute, 52.51 seconds breaking the Pima school record. The previous record was held by Dustin Zimmerman at 1:53.76 set in 2004.
This was Macias’ fourth NJCAA national qualifying time as he set standard times in the 1000 meters (2:30.55), 600 meters (1:20.19) and the 4×400 relay (3:16.07) so far this Indoor season.
The Aztecs will compete at the Don Kirby Invitational on Friday and Saturday held at the Albuquerque Convention Center hosted by the University of New Mexico.
