North Carolina A&T headlines the field with a combined total of five athletes on both the men's and women's side as all shattered school records. Christopher Belcher qualified in both the 100 and 200-meter dashes while Dajuan Harding will compete in the 400-meter dash. The 4x100-meter relay had the third-best time (38.76) out of both preliminary regionals and will be joined by the mile relay team in Eugene.
