Aggie Men Go on Record-Breaking Conquest at NCAA East Prelim
JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- The North Carolina A&T State men's outdoor track & field 4x400-meter relay team did it again. And that's only a fraction of the story from Friday night at the University of North Florida's Hodges Stadium during the 2021 NCAA Division I East Preliminary Round.
The Aggie men qualified eight more athletes for the 2021 NCAA Div. I Outdoor Track & Field Championships, June 9-12, in Eugene, Ore. They will send nine men to the nationals after junior long jumper Brandon Hicklin qualified on Wednesday.
N.C. A&T's nine Aggies will be competing in nine different events. That is a new school record, topping the old mark from 2019, when the Aggies qualified seven male athletes in seven various events.
That alone is worthy of praise. But the way the Aggie men did it, is worthy of reverence.
