Senior represents South Africa at World University Games in China
CHENGDU, China – Nearly two months after taking third in the 100-meter dash at the NCAA Championships, senior Shaun Maswanganyi took silver in the 100 at the 31st FISU World University Games in China on Wednesday.
Â
Representing his home nation of South Africa, Maswanganyi clocked a 10.06 time in Chengdu, a city in the province of Sichuan, China. Jamaica's Kadrian Dwayne Goldson ran 10.04 seconds to claim the gold medal.
Â
Maswanganyi is coming off the 2023 season for Houston where the sprinter finished with three All-American First Team honors (60-meter dash, 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash).
Â
The senior will compete in the 400-meter relay for South Africa on Saturday at approximately 11 a.m. local time (10 p.m. CDT on Friday). The 400 relay final is slated for Sunday at 7:10 p.m. local time (6:10 a.m. CDT).
