The Norfolk State women's track and field team won the 2011 MEAC Outdoor Track and Field Championship at the Irwin Belk Track on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University.

The Norfolk State women tallied 140 points to win their first MEAC Outdoor title, second overall, since 2001. The championship also marks the first time that both men's and women's programs won an outdoor title during the same year since 2001.

Defending champion Hampton finished second with 139 points while North Carolina A&T finished third with 124 points. 



South Carolina State's Shamire Rothmiller tallied 23 points to earn the Outstanding Field Athlete award. Norfolk State's Shanneka Claiborne posted 22.5 points to earn the Outstanding Runner honor. Rothmiller won three field events including the discus (40.85m), javelin (38.27m) and shot put (14.15m). Claiborne took first place honors in the 100m dash (11.43) and 200m dash (24.03) and ran a leg in the 4x100m relay race to earn a first place victory in 45.41.

Norfolk State's Ronda Berard was selected as the women's Outstanding Coach.

"When talking to the ladies today, I kept telling them we can do this, we can do this. When you put your mind to something you can do it. If you go out there and keep focused you can accomplish anything and win a championship," said Berard.
