Last weekend, the Cats traveled to Tampa for the USF Invite. Junior Shanard Walker finished second in the 200m and holds the new B-CU record with a time of 20.44. Walker also tabbed a seventh place finish in the 100m and currently sits sixth in the country in the 200m.

Tampa also highlighted another impressive achievement. On April 15, 2025, it was announced by the USTFCCCA (U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association) that for the second week in a row, Bethune-Cookman ranks second in the nation for team long jump average — making history as the first team composed of four freshmen to achieve this feat. 

The meet is scheduled as a single day only. The day begins with the men's/women's javelin at 9:30 a.m. followed by the hammer throw and high jump.

Most field events take place in the afternoon. Starting at 1:30 is the men's/women's pole vault, long jump, discus and shot put. 3:30 p.m. begins the triple jump.

Later, the running events take place beginning with the 110m hurdles and 100m trials. Next is the 3000 steeple, 4x100's, 1500m, 100m final, and 800m - the track portion of the day ending with the men's 4x100 at 5:15 p.m. 

The Wildcats are currently ranked number two in the nation in long jump average as a team and have a new B-CU record in the books. Coach Jackson will look to continue his success in Orangeburg.
