Upon qualifying for Friday night’s men’s 110-meter hurdles final at Myers Stadium, North Carolina A&T senior Michael Dickson described how his rising mid-major track program is now rubbing shoulders with the Power 5 elite and holding its own.
“My goal was to make it to the finals and do the job that we came here to do, which is to let the nation know A&T is calling,” said Dickson, referring to the Aggies status as an HBCU member. “Being a member of a HBCU is a great starting point for us, but we don’t limit ourselves to just HBCUs. It’s great to know where we came from, but we compete against everybody.”
