DURHAM – On Tuesday morning, in 62-degree weather with clear calm skies, the North Carolina A&T men's and women's cross country teams, following their respective season openers at the  Elon "Friday Night Lights" Opener last Friday, attended Duke University's cross-country Dual and Tri-Meet at Sally Meyerhoff Fitness Loop, which included the host Blue Devils, A&T and the North Carolina Central University (NCCU).

The men competed in the 4K race, and the women tried to post their fastest times in the 3K. A&T's men scored 69 points, finishing in 1:06.22. Senior Abdiselam Green was A&T's top runner (12:39.8), followed by freshman Taysaun Wilson (13:02.8). Junior Kaleb Conway was the third-fastest Aggie with a time of 13:29.2.

Duke took the top six spots and won the meet 15 points. Beck Wittstadt took first place, finishing 11:51.2.

 For the women, A&T and Duke went head-to-head, with the Blue Devils winning with a total of 17 points. Stephanie Moss led Duke, finishing in 9:58.9. A&T senior Deavion Deleon placed seventh overall and took the top spot for A&T with a time of 10:17.8. Deleon posted the fourth fastest time among runners who were not unattached. Therefore, she scored four points for an A&T team that finished with 38 total.

Junior Ryan Prioleau followed Deleon in 11:21.3, and freshman Aniyah Francis finished in 11:21.6. Deleon has established a foundation for A&T, leading the team as the top finisher in today's meet as well as the Elon Opener.
