Junior: The No. 2 all-time performer for Duke indoors at 400m and the No. 4 all-time runner at 500m indoors ... a member of the school-record setting 4X400m relay which clocked 3:13.77 to place seventh at the IC4A Indoor Championships, earning the relay All-East honors ... played a key role in getting that 4X400m relay into the IC4A final when he leaned at the tape for the win in Duke’s heat ... in the record race the next day, ran his first-ever sub-48 second relay split indoors ... outdoors in 2007 got off to a slow start with a hamstring injury, but by season’s end had come back to run on three different Blue Devil 4X400m relay teams that met the IC4A-qualifying standard in that event ...

Sophomore: Big breakthrough came indoors at the ACC Championships with his first sub-50 clocking in the 400 at 49.85 ... also ran on the school record setting 4X400m relay, running third leg on the 3:16.17 squad at the Tyson Meet in Fayetteville, Ark.
