Bio

MacPeek, a 1994 graduate, was a standout sprinter for Morningside's men's track & field team. He earned NCAA Division II All-America honors as part of a Morningside 1600-meter relay team that placed eighth at the 1990 NCAA II Outdoor Track & Field National Championships. MacPeek ran the anchor after Kevin Freeman, Chad Libby, and Brad Bartlett ran the first three legs.

MacPeek excelled at the NCC Championships, where he was a two-time individual conference champion and part of two championship relay teams. MacPeek won the 400-meter dash at the 1990 NCC Indoor Track & Field Championships with a time of 50.12 seconds and later that spring won the 400-meters with a time of 48.77 seconds at the NCC Outdoor Championships.

He anchored Morningside to conference titles in the 1600-meter relay at both the 1990 NCC Indoor and Outdoor Championships. Morningside won the indoor title with a time of 3:22.05 and the outdoor title with a time of 3:14.63. Morningside's 3:14.63 clocking at the 1990 NCC Outdoor Championships was the third fastest winning time in the 15-year history of the event at the time.
