If track and field season seemed to fly by this year at North Carolina A&T, your eyes aren’t deceiving you. Their track and field squad is ranked #21 in Division I, making it the first MEAC team to achieve a Top 25 ranking, according to the US Track and Field and Cross Country Coaches Association.
The men’s 100m dash team is the top ranked team in the nation:
Junior Christopher Belcher has the No. 3 time in the nation at 10.07 (MEAC outdoor championships), junior Maurice Eaddy is ranked 19th nationally with a time of 10.27 (Georgia Invitational) and freshman Rodney Rowe is 28th in the country at 10.31 (MEAC outdoor championships) to make up the Aggies top ranking.

This is awesome with a capital “A” Really would love to see more HBCU teams from the SWAC and MEAC ranked. Just goes to show you sooner or later with the proper investment from the schools and the NCAA HBCU division one programs can compete with the so called big boys.
