EAST GREENSBORO – North Carolina A&T Director of Athletics Earl M. Hilton III announced the hiring of three-time Olympian and 1996 Olympic gold medalist Allen Johnson as the Aggies new director of track and field programs on Friday.
On Friday, Hilton introduced Johnson to the Board of Trustees and track and field student-athletes. Johnson has signed a four-year contract to guide the Aggies' six track and field programs -- men's and women's cross country, men's and women's indoor track and field and men's and women's outdoor track and field.
"Allen has paid his dues and has earned the opportunity to head an elite track and field program with a rich history like the one at North Carolina A&T," said Hilton. "When looking for the person who can keep A&T track and field moving forward academically and as a top-10 program nationally with aspirations of winning national championships, it became apparent that coach Johnson was that individual. When alumni, parents and prospective student-athletes meet coach Johnson, they will be impressed with him as a man of character and integrity as well as an outstanding track and field coach. He will make the program about the student-athletes, and I like that."
