What they’re saying

“Charles dominated at the Penn Classic, setting two records throughout the day. First in the 60m dash, the senior posted a meet record with a 7.40 finish. Charles followed that up with another meet record in the 200m race, winning in 23.83. Her times in the 60m and 200m races are top marks in the CAA and rank inside the nation's top-100 performances.”

“Deleon finished second in the mile, breaking an A&T program record in the event for the second-consecutive week. The Nebraska native ran a 4:49.26 race to shatter her own record by almost eight seconds. Deleon moved into third place in the CAA for the event.”

“Morgan collected her second-consecutive CAA weekly accolade, breaking the Aggies program record in the women's high jump. A week after she eclipsed a 12-year standard at A&T, she became the only female in Aggie history to jump six feet. With her 1.83m win at the Carolina Classic, Morgan is now tied for first in the CAA and 16th nationally.”
