The Last Outing
Florida A&M wrapped action at the Southwestern Athletic Conference Indoor Championships with plenty of hardware – two pieces of gold, three pieces of silver, and two bronze.

Rattler Nation should be familiar with Teleda Williams. The TCU transfer joined the team ahead of the 2023 season and has podiumed in every meet thus far. She concluded the indoor campaign with bronze medals in the 200 (24.53) and 400 (55.67) meter dashes and was also part of the 4x400 relay that finished second (3:48.56). Both Williams and Dajon Clark earned multiple medals at the SWAC meet.

Clark ran his fastest 60-meter dash in 6.69, a second-place finish, before taking first place in the long jump (7.32 meters).
