He was named MEAC Outstanding Coach for the fourth straight year, winning 13 events.
 
At the NCAA East Regional Preliminary Round, the Bison had 21 entries in Jacksonville with six punching their tickets to Eugene for the Outdoor Championships.
 
In Eugene, five Bison earned All-American honors: Kailei Collins (Houston); Aiyana Gray-Williams (Winston-Salem, N.C.); Tiffani-Rae Pittman (Bowie, Md.); Marcia Sey (London, United Kingdom) and Aniya Woodruff (Harrisburg, N.C.).
 
Only USTFCCCA member schools are eligible for awards and member coaches voted on these honors after the conclusion of the 2025 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships in Eugene, Ore. (June 11-14).
