Black college sweep

individual performances. S turrup made
folk sit up and take notice with wins in
the 100, 200 and long jump. She also
anchored NSLTs 4 x 100 relay that placed
second. Akimemi was equally on top of
things, ruling matters in the open 400,
400 intermediate hurdles and as the
anchor for A&Nfs No. 1 finish in the
400 relay.
As good as Omalade is, she had
plenty help from some next of kin --
older sister Taiye, and twin sibling
Omatayo. As a tandem, the Akinremis
accounted for an abundant share of
A&Nfs points. And speaking of points,
one can't overlook Chinweoke Chik
welu's silver medal in the hepthatlon, an
event that black colleges traditionally
don't compete in very often.
In retrospect, A&M had too many
to be overcome. But that didn't
matter to S turrup, who caused a stir with
her performances. ?
The Spartanettes freshman made a
statement in the 100 when she beat team
mate Carlene Robb (the defending out
door champ) and A&NTs Taiwo Aladefa
(last year's runner-up). Stumip hit the fin
ish line in 11.54 to win handily over
Aladefa's 11.61. Robb finished sixth with
a 11.95.
The 200 had the same results with
Stumip strutting home in 23.55 to win by
three strides. Shelly Beckford of AAM
clocked 24.32 for fourth place and SACs
Y&feska Brown was eighth (24.67).
In the open quarter, A&M flexed its
considerable muscle with Omalade Akin
remi leading the pack. Omalade dueled
Omotayo for the gold and won out at
53.58 to Omatayo's 53.65. Ifeiye placed
fourth (54.79) and Beckford was sixth
(56.18). North Carolina Central's Carrie
Davis had a time of 56.47 for seventh
place.
Omalade's victory in the 400 iq?^
mediates came in much the same lashion
as her finish in the quarter. This time, she
outlasted Marsha Guieldo of Cal State
Los Angeles by less than half a step aft the
