Maxwell Dyce Named UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week
May 3, 2011
Sophomore Maxwell Dyce (Moorpark, CA/Moorpark HS) of the UCLA men's track and field team was selected as the UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week for Apr. 25-May 1.
Dyce competed in four events in the annual dual meet with USC and was instrumental in helping the Bruin men defeat the Trojans, 89-74. Dyce started off the day as the third leg of the 4x100m relay that went on to edge out the Trojans by .03 seconds with a winning time of 39.94. He then ran a season-best in the 100m (10.50) to finish second overall, picking up three more points for the Bruins. That time was just .03 seconds shy of his lifetime-best. Dyce then moved on to the 200m, where he ran into a head-wind, clocking 20.79. He ended the day as the third leg of the 4x400m relay that finished second overall.
This is Dyce's first UCLA/Muscle Milk Student-Athlete of the Week honor of the season and of his career.
