8th HBCU Challenge set for Oct. 6
The 8th Annual Cedric Walker HBCU Challenge is set for Saturday, October 6, 2018! We look forward to hosting some of the best HBCU teams and individuals from the Southeast and around the country, as we have previously for many years.
The NSAF has tremendous gratitude towards and appreciation for some of those who have been driving forces behind getting this event started and sustaining it:
- Our late board member, Cedric Walker, who we miss deeply
- Jacque Kendall, who has served on our staff and operating committee in the past and continues to help organize the event
- Former Olympic coach George Williams of St. Augustine’s College
- Michigan businessman Mr. Robert Shumake, who previously helped us for many years
- All of the universities and colleges that have participated in the first six years of this event!
The 3rd edition of this event in 2013 was special as we honored Mr. Walker (mentioned above, who passed in March, 2013) for his years of service to the Challenge, the Foundation and to our sport in general.
Trey Simons (Morehouse) defended his '16 Men's Challenge title, clocking 25:48.1 and winning by almost 30 seconds.
