CLEMSON, SC – If North Carolina A&T competitors are to make a move toward making the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships in March, Clemson University's Tiger Paw Invitational is the place to do it.

Friday marked the first day of Tiger Paw at the Clemson University Indoor Complex as the Aggies faced top-tier talent, going against hundreds of athletes from the nation's 30 top programs and professionals from teams sponsored by Adidas, Nike, and New Balance.

It forced many Aggies to step up their performances. With 13 athletes competing on Day 1, the Aggies saw six personal-best performances.

CLEMSON, SC – North Carolina A&T's indoor track and field teams' respective 4x400-meter relay teams had good showings on the second day of the Clemson University's Tiger Paw Invitational at the Clemson Track and Field Indoor Complex on Saturday. The Aggies also managed to lower a few more qualifying times on Saturday.
