 Howard University’s women’s track and field squad have continued their era of dominance in the capital, clinching the Bison Classic title for the fourth year in a row.
The event, co-hosted by Howard and Gallaudet University for the fourth consecutive year, saw the Bison utilize home-field advantage to devastating effect. Amidst a high-caliber field in Washington D.C., the hosts relied on a blend of experienced leaders and emerging talent to keep the trophy in their cabinet.
Key to the Howard surge was the performance of Sanaa Morris, who proved to be a vital points-scorer across the sprint disciplines. In the 400m Dash, Morris demonstrated her tactical maturity, navigating the single-lap sprint in a time of 57.72 seconds to secure a silver-medal finish.
The Bermudian standout showed no signs of fatigue as she returned for the 200m Dash. In a crowded field of specialists, she powered through the curve to cross the line in 25.35 seconds, securing fourth place and adding crucial points to the Bison’s winning tally.
The victory cements Howard's status as the team to beat at their annual showpiece. The "four-peat" highlights the consistency of a program that has become synonymous with success in the region.
The partnership with Gallaudet University also continues to flourish, with the co-hosting arrangement providing a premier platform for collegiate athletes to showcase their progress as the outdoor season moves into its most critical phase.
For Morris and the Bison, the focus now shifts toward the conference championships. With four straight Bison Classic titles under their belt, Howard will head into the postseason with the momentum and confidence of a program that has made winning a habit.
