Registration open for 9th Annual HBCU Challenge!
April, 2019 update -- The 9th Annual Cedric Walker HBCU Challenge is set for Saturday, October 5, 2019 and registration has opened! We look forward to hosting some of the best HBCU teams and individuals from the Southeast and around the country, as we have previously for many years.
The NSAF deeply appreciates those who were instrumental in getting this event started and have been vital in sustaining it since then:
- Our late board member, Cedric Walker, who we miss deeply
- NSAF staff member Jacque Kendall, who has served on our operating committee and continues to head up organization of this the event
- Former Olympic coach George Williams of St. Augustine’s College
- Michigan businessman Mr. Robert Shumake, who previously helped us for many years
- All of the universities and colleges that have participated in the first eight years of this event!
The 3rd edition of this event in 2013 was special as we honored Mr. Walker (mentioned above, who passed in March, 2013) for his years of service to the Challenge, the Foundation and to our sport in general.
Trey Simons (Morehouse) defended his '16 Men's Challenge title, clocking 25:48.1 and winning by almost 30 seconds.
