St. Aug celebrates second straight outdoor crown

RALEIGH, North Carolina -- Saint Augustine’s University celebrated their second straight men’s outdoor track and field national crown Tuesday.

The Falcons scored 112 points to win by a 45-point margin over the competition at the 2014 NCAA Division II Men’s and Women’s Outdoor Track & Field Championships at Grand Valley State Track and Field Stadium Saturday.

“Most of the time we have an older team but this year we had old and young and they all performed very well,” said head coach George Williams Tuesday. “I think that’s what makes this team very special.”

The title was the 12th men’s outdoor title for the Falcons, who also swept the last two men’s indoor national titles. Overall, the Saint Augustine’s University track and field program has won 35 NCAA Division II national championships under Williams.
