April 22, 2026 | Track & Field

LOS ANGELES – The Big Ten conference announced USC Track and Field's Madison Whyte as the Women's Track Athlete of the Week for April 22, 2026. The junior ran school record times in both the 4x100m relay and 400m over the weekend at Mt. SAC Relays.

Whyte broke two USC program records and set top-10 times in NCAA history in the women's 4x100 relay and women's 400m just an hour apart. The women's 4x100m relay team, with Whyte on the third leg, tied the No. 3 time by a school in NCAA history for the event at 42.12 and broke the previous USC record of 42.21 set in 2019. Less than an hour later, Whyte broke the 400m school record. Her time of 49.64 broke the previous record of 49.99 set by Kendall Ellis in 2018 and puts her at the No. 9 slot in NCAA history. This is the third conference weekly honor of the year for Whyte.
