N.C. A&T’s Kayla White earns NCAA Woman of the Year nomination NCATAGGIES.COM Thu, Jun 27 Kayla White won the national indoor title in the women's 200m. Photo by Erin E. Mizell EAST GREENSBORO – North Carolina A&T track and field star Kayla White is one of 585 female college athletes who have been nominated by NCAA member schools for the 2019 NCAA Woman of the Year award. White is also one of six ladies from the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) with an opportunity to be named NCAA Woman of the Year. White had an incredible year for N.C. A&T Athletics. She ranked No. 1 in the nation in several events throughout the year and there were times during the season where she was No. 1 in the world. Her ascent began in February when she ran a 22.82 at the Tyson Invitational at the University of Arkansas to earn the No. 1 time in the world. She later won the NCAA indoor national championship in the 200m with a time of 22.66. White also finished second nationally in the 60-meter hurdles (7.92) missing winning the national championship by a lean. White qualified for the 60 meters as well but did not run the race so that she could concentrate on the other two races. For her efforts, she was named NCAA Women’s Track Athlete of the Year to go along with being named Southeast Region Track Athlete of the Year by the United States Track and Field Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA). She also won MEAC indoor titles in the 200m and the 60mh. For the rest of the story:www.ncataggies.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=24500&ATCLID=211806114

what ever happened to the aggie sports "wall of fame" that used to be located in the old student union lobby? that was a good place for it because it was very "visible" and a lot of student/alumni traffic passed thru the lobby.
reason i asked is because kayla white's picture (along with several other hall of fame newbies) should be added to that wall for the whole world to see. that is, if it still exists somewhere. i don't recall seeing it relocated in the new student center...
