With track, youâre always going to be able to compete against those mid-major schools and Power 5 schools no matter what school youâre at. For example, North Carolina A&T is an HBCU and theyâre doing phenomenally well in the NCAA. Seeing that is going to get a lot of kids to want to go to those school. Seeing some of the alums that came from HBCUs like Kellie Wells or Francena McCorory is going to draw other athletes to HBCUs as well. You can say, âOh if I go to an HBCU and make an Olympic team, I can still achieve my Olympic dream all while still being among the Black community.â I think conversations like that are being had and a lot of people are considering HBCUs now more than ever. In the track world, it was always kind of popular to go to HBCUs but now itâs more than ever itâs definitely a thing.â
Edose Ibadin a pro runner with the District Track Club in Washington D.C. I decided to get him on the show after he went viral over the weekend with a cool tweet that said: âDang I really ran 1:44 on Friday. This the same guy who never made an NCAA final. Only made NCAA in the 800 one time. Only had one scholarship offer out of high school. Wasnât All-American in HS. Where your story starts isnât where it endsâ
Thatâs just awesome. I wanted to know a little bit more to his story and how heâs gotten to this point, plus what it was like to run at a HBCU.
