2024 Olympian and Kansas University senior Michael Joseph this weekend added to his collection of Saint Lucia national records. He set a new mark in the indoor men’s 200m.
Competing in the preliminaries of his event last Friday at the 2025 Big12 Conference Indoor Championships, Joseph ran 20.76 seconds to qualify for the final. In the medal round, he stopped the clock at 20.99, giving him a fifth-place finish. It was his third-fastest run ever indoors and his third time going under 21 seconds.
Joseph’s personal-best outing at the Sports Performance Center in Lubbock, Texas, USA, resulted in his sixth individual national record. He is also the fastest Saint Lucian ever over 400m indoors and out, and also holds the junior record. Additionally, he holds the outdoor 200m record and the mark for the indoor 600m.
Delan Edwin set the previous record for the men’s indoor 200m at 20.79 seconds in February 2022. Joseph and Edwin were part of the men’s 4x100m team that made the finals of the Commonwealth Games in that same year, twice lowering the national record for that event as well.
Joseph holds school records and national records for the men’s 400m indoors and outdoors.
