MSSU Athletics Hall of Fame
One of the most decorated sprinters in Missouri Southern track & field history, Jeff Fraley enjoyed a dominant career from 2011-16, earning seven NCAA Division II All-America honors, capturing 11 MIAA championships, and collecting 20 All-MIAA selections.
Fraley established himself as one of the nation's elite sprinters by earning All-America honors in both the indoor and outdoor seasons. He was a two-time All-American in 2012 in the 200 meters, earned indoor All-America honors in the 60 meters and 200 meters in 2015, and outdoor All-America honors in the 100 meters in 2015, and concluded his career with outdoor All-America finishes in both the 100 and 200 meters in 2016.
His dominance at the conference level was unmatched as he never lost an MIAA conference 200-meter title race. Fraley won MIAA titles in the indoor 200 meters in 2012, 2013, 2014, and 2015, and added indoor 60-meter championships in 2014 and 2015. Outdoors, he captured conference championships in the 200 meters in 2012, 2013, 2015 and 2016, along with the 100-meter title in 2015, and consistently contributed to top relay finishes throughout his career.
Fraley helped the Lions capture their first-ever MIAA Outdoor Championship in 2016.
During the 2015 indoor and outdoor championship seasons, Fraley was recognized as the MIAA High Point Award winner at both meets.
Fraley rewrote the Missouri Southern record book, setting school records in seven events. He still owns the program's indoor records in the 60-meter dash (6.68) and 400 meters (48.03), while his outdoor marks of 10.23 in the 100 meters, 20.66 in the 200 meters, and 46.80 in the 400 meters all stand as school records. He currently ranks second in program history in the indoor 200 meters with a time of 21.51 and outdoor 4x100 meter relay (40.93) after setting both records.
In the classroom, Fraley was named a two-time Academic All-American by the College Sports Information Directors of America (CoSIDA) in 2015 and 2016. He also was a four-time All-Academic selection from the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA).Â
