The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) enters its 53rd year of intercollegiate competition with the 2023-24 academic school year. Located in Norfolk, Va., the MEAC is made up of eight outstanding historically black institutions across the Atlantic coastline: Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina Central University and South Carolina State University. The MEAC sponsors 14 Division I (FCS) sports: women’s bowling, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, football, men’s and women’s tennis, men’s and women’s track & field, softball and volleyball. The MEAC receives automatic NCAA qualification bids in seven sports – men’s and women’s basketball, women’s bowling, men’s and women’s tennis, softball and volleyball. The MEAC’s football champion is pitted against the champion of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) in the Cricket Celebration Bowl, which debuted in December 2015. MEAC student-athletes excel on and off the field and several have been recognized on ESPN the Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and All-District teams. The conference sponsors All-Academic teams in each of its sports and awards two post-graduate scholarships of $5,000 each annually to one male and one female student-athlete who have excelled academically and athletically and are in their final season of intercollegiate athletics eligibility and competition under MEAC and NCAA regulations.

This past weekend I was fortunate enough to be inducted into the Black College Football Hall of Fame. As the youngest member and 1st from The Mecca….Howard University, I don’t take this for granted. The rich history that was in the room of many who paved the way for black men such as myself is undeniable. I’m extremely honored to be apart of this fraternity!!

Congratulations to recent NSU grad Kai Cole, a standout sprinter for Norfolk State University, as he recently achieved remarkable success at the 2024 MEAC Outdoor Track & Field Championships. He successfully defended his titles in both the 100 meters and 200 meters, setting personal bests in each event. Cole's winning times were 10.05 seconds in the 100 meters and 20.55 seconds in the 200 meters. These impressive performances not only earned him the MEAC titles but also qualified him for the U.S. Olympic Trials, meeting the automatic qualifying standard for the trials. Cole's achievements have positioned him among the nation's top sprinters, and he is now set to compete for a spot on the U.S. team for the 2024 Paris Olympics! As a dedicated athlete and a key contributor to the Norfolk State Spartans, Cole's success is a testament to the rigorous training and high standards upheld by the university's track and field program, led by Coach Kenneth Giles (Most Outstanding Coach for the 3rd consecutive year!) Way to go Kai! #goldstandard #nsualumni #beholdthegreenandgold #olympics
