SWAC Baseball Tournament, Day 3: Alabama State, Grambling State both facing elimination rounds

GREENSBORO, N.C. – The Bethune-Cookman Wildcats made it three Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) Men’s Outdoor Track and Field Championships in a row Saturday by winning the 2016 affair at the Irwin Belk Track on the campus of North Carolina A&T State University.

The Wildcats tallied 151 points to out-distance North Carolina A&T State, who was second with 134 points and Maryland Eastern Shore (110) in third.

Steven Thomas, of Coppin State, was the Outstanding Field Athlete award winner after winning the discus, finishing second in the hammer and fifth in the shot put for 22 points in the meet.  Maryland Eastern Shore’s Khalil Rmidi Kinini was named the Outstanding Runner. He won the 1500m, 5000m, 10000m and 3000m steeplechase to accumulate 40 points. [easyazon_infoblock align=”right” cart=”y” identifier=”B008XUU2OS” locale=”US” tag=”hbcusports-20″]

Bethune-Cookman’s Donald Cooper was selected as the Men’s Track and Field Outstanding Coach for the third time.

“It was a tough battle all weekend and the weather really caught us off guard the first day,” said Cooper. “All we could do was encourage the student-athletes and keep reminding them the weather was going to get warmer.  We strategized throughout the summer and with cross country trying to make it not another one-point affair and we did.”

The first meet record of the event was set by North Carolina A&T State’s 4×100 meter relay team of Maurice Eaddy, Christopher Belcher, Michael Dickson and Rodney Rowe in 39.58.  South Carolina State was second in 40.35, while North Carolina Central took third in 40.42.  The former record was by Hampton in 2010 running 39.71

The second meet record of the weekend fell in the 100m as Belcher broke a 35-year old record in 10.07.  William Haynes, of Florida A&M, held the record, with a time of 10.23, set in 1981.
