(January 29, 2026) -- The Morgan State Bears men's and women's track & field teams are set to continue their dominant indoor season this Friday and Saturday, January 30–31, with a split-meet weekend in two of the Northeast's premier athletic venues. The Bears, who compete in the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC), will send their top athletes to showcase their skills and compete for national-qualifying marks at the prestigious Terrier Classic in Boston and the Patriot Games in Fairfax, Virginia. Key Takeaway: This split-meet weekend provides an excellent opportunity for the Morgan State Bears to demonstrate their prowess and cement their status as one of the top HBCU track & field programs in the country.
The Morgan State Bears have a rich history of athletic excellence, with their track & field teams consistently ranking among the best in the MEAC conference and the nation. This season, the Bears are poised to continue this tradition, with a roster filled with talented student-athletes who have already made their mark on the indoor circuit. At the Terrier Classic, the Bears will face stiff competition from some of the top Division I programs in the Northeast, including perennial powerhouses like Boston University and Northeastern University. However, the Morgan State coaching staff is confident that their athletes are more than ready to rise to the challenge. Head Coach John Smith said, "Our team has been training hard all season, and they are eager to showcase their skills against some of the best competition in the country. We know that the Terrier Classic and Patriot Games will be tough, but our Bears are ready to soar to new heights and make a statement for the HBCU community." Among the Bears' standout performers is senior sprinter Malik Jackson, who is currently ranked in the top 10 nationally in the 60-meter dash. Jackson, who hails from nearby Baltimore, is excited to compete in front of his hometown crowd at the Terrier Classic. "This is my last indoor season, and I want to go out with a bang," Jackson said. "I've been working harder than ever, and I'm ready to show the world what Morgan State track & field is all about." The Morgan State Bears will also be represented at the Patriot Games in Fairfax, where their distance runners and field event specialists will have the opportunity to shine. Standouts like junior hurdler Jasmine Williams and sophomore pole vaulter Ayana Davis are expected to contend for top honors in their respective events. Key Takeaway: The Morgan State Bears' participation in these high-profile meets demonstrates the strength and depth of HBCU track & field programs, which often fly under the radar but are consistently producing world-class athletes.
