Academy of Art University Athletics

In Azusa once again for the APU Franson Last Chance, Academy of Art track & field's Robin Black delivered his fastest 200m dash of the season to move up nearly 20 places in the NCAA Division II list of Outdoor Nationals provisional qualifiers.

Black impressed in a 200m event that also saw him serve as the top collegiate finisher out of a total of 62 sprinters. He won his heat by more than 0.20 seconds, going 20.96 across the line to elevate to third in program history, behind only Hall of Famer Mobolade Ajomale and 12-time All-American Jordan Edwards and 26th in the country, marking the fourth individual event where he can be found in that place or higher (100m, 200m, 110mH, 400mH). In the end, only two non-collegiate competitors finished ahead of Black in Olympian as well as 10-time All-American Michael Ohioze and S.H.A.R.K.S Athletic Club professional athlete Daniel Stokes-Lopez.
