Wattley was also named to the MEAC 1st Team in both the 100m and 4 x 100m relay following her performances over the weekend.
Back at the Championships held at the Irwin Belk Track on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University.

She then ran 23.67 in the final for a 4th place finish.
Still not done, she ran the 4th leg in the 4 x 100m relay to help her team romp to victory and a new MEAC Record with a time of 44.93.
To round off her weekend, she also ran the 4th leg in the 4 x 400m relay to finish 12th in a time of 3:48.11.
All in all, Wattley had a hand in almost a third of her team’s 80.5 points, which garnered them a 4th place finish overall for the second consecutive year.
