LANDOVER, Md., Feb. 29, 2020—The North Carolina A&T State men used a strong Saturday to win the 2020 Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) indoor track & field championship at the Prince George’s Sports & Learning Complex, the program’s fourth straight title.
In fact, NCAT becomes the first MEAC program to sweep the men’s and women’s indoor titles in four straight seasons.
The Aggies racked up 165 points in victory, while Norfolk State had 133 points to take second. Bethune-Cookman (100.5), Maryland Eastern Shore (71) and Coppin State (49) rounded out the top five.
Duane Ross was named the meet’s Outstanding Coach.
NCAT’s Regan Kimtai was named the meet’s Outstanding Runner, winning three gold medals over the weekend – including Saturday’s mile run, where he turned in a 4:18.37. Kimtai also won the 5,000 meters on Thursday and was on the Aggies’ winning distance medley relay squad.
Kimtai’s mile victory was the first of four on the day for the Aggies.
Randolph Ross, the freshman who leads the world in the 400 meters, won gold in that event with a 46.25, before Jaylan Mitchell gave the Aggies another win when he ran a 6.67 to claim gold in the 60 meters.

Berryhill ran an 8:41.72.
