The Norfolk State men's track and field team won the 2012 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Outdoor Track and Field Championships at the Irwin Belk Track on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University.

The Spartans tallied 145.50 points en route to their seventh consecutive MEAC Men's Outdoor Track and Field Championship. North Carolina A&T finished in second with 95 points and Bethune-Cookman rounded out the top three with 78 points. 

Morgan State's Emmanuel Stewart recorded 28 points in the field events and was named Outstanding Field Athlete. NSU's Keith Nkrumah and Florida A&M's Elias Chesire each tallied 20 points on the track to earn Co-Outstanding Runner honors.

Delaware State's Donte Holmes captured gold in the 800m run breaking a nine-year-old record in 1:48.55. The previous mark of 1:49.41 was held by Maryland Eastern Shore's Damion Drummond.  

Norfolk State head coach Kenneth Giles was named the Men's Track and Field Outstanding Coach for the seventh year in a row.

"The guys did a great job," said Giles "They were dominant. We were missing three of our seniors due to graduation but everyone else stepped up and we were able to win another championship."
