Yes, because the centroid is where the medians meet.
The centroid is the point where the three medians (segments from each vertex to the midpoint of the opposite side) intersect. It is not the intersection of altitudes (that point is the orthocenter). The centroid also divides each median in a 2:1 ratio, counting from the vertex.
