Alabama State University currently has the fastest time in the 4x100 among all HBCU's at 39.28. There is a great chance that they can become only the 2nd HBCU to ever run a under 39 seconds in that race by season's end. The foursome are listed on the photo above and have a great chance at making it to the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships this June, in Austin, Texas.

Dajon Clark of Florida A&M currently has the farthest distance of any HBCU competitor in the long jump at 25'1.25" (1.7). There is a strong chance that the Miami native can eclipse the 26-foot mark by the 2023 NCAA East Regional Meet due to his impending potential and sprinter's speed.
