• St. Augustine's College provided half of the record breaking 4 X 400 meter United States relay team at the Goodwill Games. St Aug assistant coach Antonio Pettigrew and junior sprinter Jerome Young joined Tyree Washington and Michael Johnson to set a new world record of 2:54.20. Pettigrew ran the first leg and Young, the current NCAA D2 and USA titleholder, ran the second leg. They broke the 1993 record by .09 seconds.

• Virginia State's Terrance Whittle Selected for Braves Internship
• Daily newspapers in Winston-Salem and Fayetteville, NC are reporting that Fayetteville State head basketball coach Rick Duckett will accept a similar position at Winston-Salem State. Duckett, a Winston-Salem native, is scheduled to resign his position at FSU Monday and be introduced at WSSU on Wednesday. Duckett was apparently offered the WSSU position last week and made his decision to leave following conversations with FSU Chancellor Willis McLeod and Athletics Director Horace Small. Apparently Fayetteville State was not able to counter the multi-year contract and increased recruiting budget offer which Duckett received from WSSU.
