The 2021 Tokyo Games are right around the corner, but first comes the USA Olympic Trials. The eyes of many will be focused on Eugene, Oregon as track and field, arguably the most symbolic Olympic sport, gets under way.
Current and former HBCU student-athletes will be competing for spots, along with the rest of the country’s elite. North Carolina A&T’s dynamic sophomore duo of Randolph Ross and Cambrea Sturgis will be there, along with several other current and former A&T athletes.
