NCAT Returns to Action in Style, Wins Big at Kentucky
LEXINGTON, Ky. -- North Carolina A&T State men's and women's track knocked off some of the rust from their 10-month layoff from competition this weekend at the University of Kentucky's McCravy Green Invitational at Nector Field House.
How rust did they knock? They won eight times on Saturday and a total of nine times for the weekend, including two freshmen who crossed the finish line in first place in their respective collegiate debuts. One can only wonder what they will look like, completely revamped.
The women had four first-place finishes, all on Saturday. The men had four of their five wins over the weekend on Saturday.
N.C. A&T's All-Americans came ready. Three-time All-American Cambrea Sturgis, a junior, won the women's 60 meters. Sophomore and two-time All-American Randolph Ross won the men's 400 meters and teamed with his 4x400-meter relay teammates to win gold.
