"Coach Q brings an excellent work ethic and relatability to the athletes that will take our cross country and distance programs to new heights," said Johnson. Prince will coach the Aggies men's and women's cross country teams in the fall and the men's and women's distance runners during the indoor and outdoor seasons. He comes to North Carolina A&T after spending one season with George Washington University. Prince still competes professionally for the District Track Club of Washington, DC. In July, he was a 2022 Commonwealth Games Championship qualifier in the 800 meters (Birmingham, England). Ranked as high as 48th in the men's 800m, Prince is a top-100 runner worldwide in the distance.

Is this a benefit from the salary we’re paying the new Track Director or did we increase funding for T&F even more?

What's the status of the coaching staff? It looks like he retained the throws coach.
