Majed Sahouri claimed six MIAA titles in track and field,winning individual titles in the 100 and 200 meters and as a memberof the 400 relay teams in 1987 and 1988. Majed shared the MIAA mostvaluable performer award with John Dunlop (a 2005 Athletic Hall ofFame inductee) in 1988, but the legacy he left for future sprinterswas just as impressive as what he accomplished when he wore thepurple and gold uniform.
“Majed was a fiery, tough competitor who pushed meto another level,” said track and field All-American LanceColeman, ’91, a 2006 Athletic Hall of Fame inductee.“He taught me the finer points of warming up, cooling down,and mental preparation, and he set the tone for what future shortsprinters had to do by running the mile relay.”
By virtue of his individual titles, Majed wasautomatically placed on the MIAA All-Conference teams in 1987 and1988.
Majed transitioned from an Albion sprinter to a distancerunner in finishing the Chicago Marathon in 2002. He earned an M.D.degree from Wayne State University in 1992 and is anophthalmologist. Majed resides in Saginaw with his wife, Rheame,and children, Elizabeth, Demetri, and Andrew.
