St. Augustine's Men and Women Finish Second at Division II Outdoor Track Championships
CIAA Has 26 All-Americans; Smoots Denied

May 26, 2002

Lincoln (MO) University has become the 5th school overall and 3rd HBCU in the history of the NCAA Division II Women's Outdoor Track and Field Championships to earn the title of National Champions. The Blue Tiger Women achieved champion status with six individual titles on the final day of the three-day event denying St. Augustine’s a four-peat at Ralph Korte Stadium on the campus of Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. The Lady Falcons finished second.

St. Augustine’s men also finished second behind long-time rival Abilene Christian.

Traditionally, the team with the strongest showing on the final day will win the national title and Lincoln finished very strong with six individual championships on Saturday.

St. Augustine’s women picked up an individual championship as Charlene Cummings won the long jump title.

St. Aug’s men won national titles in three events. Eddie Montgomery, Nathaniel McKinney, Anwar Moore and Wilan Louis combined to win the 4X100m relay championship. Adrian Findlay finished first in the 400m hurdles. The Falcons closed out the day with another relay title as Louis joined with Jamaal Torrance, McKinney and Marqueth Tard to anchor the winning 4X400m relay team.

North Carolina Central sprinter Jason Smoots was denied in his two attempts to capture a seventh career national title. Smoots finished third in the 100m dash and sixth in the 200m dash finals.
