A&T Dominates MEAC Indoor Track For 3-peat
« on: February 24, 2019, 11:35:56 PM »
A&T MEN CONTINUE THEIR DOMINANCE OF MEAC TRACK
NCATAGGIES.COM SAT, FEB 23

LANDOVER, Md. (February 23, 2018) – The North Carolina A&T track and field teams are starting to become historic and the student-athletes who comprise those teams are becoming legendary.

For third straight Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Indoor Track and Field Championship, the N.C. A&T Aggies swept both championships to become the first university in MEAC history to sweep the men’s and the women’s indoor championships three years in a row. The men now have a chance to capture all three MEAC track titles after winning cross country in the fall. The Aggie men will go for the trifecta in May during the MEAC outdoor championships held at N.C. A&T's Irwin Belk Track.

The men posted 191 points to beat Bethune-Cookman (141), Norfolk State (119), Morgan State (41) and S.C. State (30) in the top-5. Freshman Regan Kimtai was named earned Outstanding Runner honors and N.C. A&T’s director of track and field programs Duane Ross was named Outstanding Coach.

What is notable about Kimtai winning outstanding runner is that for a program known as SprinterU, Kimtai is not a sprinter. Kimtai won the award by winning the 5000 meters on Thursday and the 1 mile and the 800 meters on Saturday to score 30 points for the Aggies.

“We’re a complete team now,” said Ross about the Aggie men. “We no longer have to wait on Saturday and the sprint finals before we start putting up multiple points. Our throwers can put up a lot of points and our distance runners performed really well. We are a lot stronger on the men’s side than we used to be.”

LADY AGGIES CHARM WITH THIRD STRAIGHT T&F TITLE
NCATAGGIES.COM Sat, Feb 23

LANDOVER, Md. (February 23, 2019) – The North Carolina A&T track and field teams are starting to become historic and the student-athletes who comprise those teams are becoming legendary.

For third straight Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Indoor Track and Field Championship, the N.C. A&T Aggies swept both championships to become the first university in MEAC history to sweep the men’s and the women’s indoor championships three years in a row.

The women posted 174 points to beat Florida A&M (118.50), Bethune-Cookman (98), Norfolk State (78) and Morgan State (48.50) in the top-5 at the Prince George’s County Sports & Learning Complex. Whenever historic and N.C. A&T Athletics are mentioned, senior Kayla White is starting to become a part of the conversation.

White, the world leader in the 200 meters, was named the meet’s Most Outstanding Runner after winning the 200m and 60-meter hurdles on Saturday. She finished second in the 60m to score 28 points for the Aggies throughout the meet. Duane Ross, the Aggies director of track and field programs, was named Outstanding Coach.

White continues to add to her impressive credentials as a student-athlete at N.C. A&T. White has won six gold medals at the MEAC indoor championships. She has won the 60mh all four years of her career and she was a 60m and 200m title to her career totals. She will go into the MEAC outdoor championships with eight gold medals.

Hopefully, soon to be 6 of 9 or better 7 of 9.  I'm banking on our men and women basketball teams and bowling team to win conference titles in March.

we're also very likely to win the upcoming meac track and field "outdoor" championships for the 3rd year in a row and we'll also have a very good chance of "repeating" as meac baseball champs this summer as well...

Aggies are definitely doing something right 

starts at the top with our chancellor who hires the right people, funds their programs properly, and then hold them all accountable to do their jobs.  much credit goes to chancellor martin and our athletic director who he hired, earl hilton.

these are the two men who are most responsible for our sudden emergence to the top of the meac in almost all the sports we sponsor.  still got a ways to go in tennis and softball.  but all of our other sports are meac championship contenders...
