Florida A&M’s women’s track and field team is returning to Tallahassee with some hardware.
On Tuesday, May 13, the Rattlers won the Southwestern Athletic Conference Outdoor Championships with 127.5 points to edge out second place Alabama State’s 124.5 at A.W. Mumford Stadium in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
After day two of the three-day event, the Rattlers had to mount a comeback to win the SWAC’s outdoor competitions, as they were out of the top five of the 12 participating teams.
However, top finishes helped FAMU get over the hump to claim the SWAC title.
Arayana Ladson starred for the Rattlers by getting first place in the 100-meter hurdles and long jump.
