2006 point total for NSU 67.5

Seems our point total should be higher this year, but since there's been no official announcement who the hail really knows.

come on now. i wasn't talkin' 'bout those numbers. i was talkin' 'bout the individual records and conference finishes (i kinda think you knew that). look, i'm not hatin' on the spartans and their success. i think highly of nsu and you deserve your accolades. but the fact remains that track skews the results for the reasons aforementioned. i'd be proud too if my alma mater won the award. but it is what it is and i'll leave it at that. nonetheless, congrats spartans!


I wasn't discounting your point at all. I'm actually wondering myself how our point total is only 61 this year (less than years past) even though we finished out much better this year in most sports. We've never finished this high in football and I think baseball & basketball either, yet we accumulated less points. Goody provided the explanation but it still seems weird!

In any case, thanks Thumb Up

Bison 4 Life...you got jokes Laugh




Ying Yang LAST YEAR OUR TRACK TEAM GOT A TOTAL OF 36 POINTS FOR THIER SWEEP OF THE CROSS COUNTRY, INDOOR AND OUTDOOR MEETS. THE POINTS SYSTEM IS BASE ON 12 10 9 8 7 6 5 ORDER OF FINISH. LAST YEAR THE BASEBALL POINTS WERE BASE ON HOW YOU FINISH IN THE TOURNAMENT AND IN BASKETBALL ALSO. I THINK THIS YEAR THE MEAC CHANGE THE WAY THEY AWARDED THE POINTS IN BASEBALL AS TOO HOW YOU FINISH IN THE REGULAR SEASON. IF YOU GO THE MEAC WEBSITE THEY SHOW A BREAKDOWN ON HOW THE POINTS ARE AWARDED IN EACH SPORT. Peace



Ying Yang I stand correct. I just been inform on how the points system works.

1st place 12 points
2nd place 10 points
3rd place 9 points
4th place 8 points
5th place 7 points
6th place 6 points


Norfolk State points total

Football-----9.5 tied with SCSU add 2nd and 3rd total points divide by two 10+9=19/2=9.5

Basketball----9.5 tied with Hampton same as above.

Cross Country--10 2nd place finish

Indoor track---12 1st place finish

Outdoor track--12 1st place finish

Baseball--------7 5th place finish

Tennis----------8 4th place finish in south divsion


Total points----68 MEAC ALL SPORT AWARD


Wow I hope you'll can understand all these numbers Laugh

NSU is doing a fine job, but not best. They have won the trophy, so based on that, YES! However, there's always room for improvement. congrats to lonnie Blow. NSU is going to miss Him. Blow was @ Maury HS when I was a student, and He is a Quality guy.

NSU Wins 4th Consecutive MEAC Men's All-Sports Award
Spartan Women Place 7th

NORFOLK, Va. - Norfolk State University won its fourth straight Talmadge Layman Hill Award, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference men’s all-sports trophy, the league announced Wednesday.

NSU is the first school to win four straight Talmadge Layman Hill Awards since Florida A&M won five in a row from 1991-95.

The Spartans tallied 68 points to win their fifth Talmadge Layman Hill Award overall, 4.5 points ahead of runner-up Delaware State. The Spartans first won the award in 2001. Hampton (79 points) won its seventh straight Mary McLeod Bethune Women’s All-Sports Award, with NSU (56.5 points) finishing seventh. Each winning school also receives $25,000. Points are awarded in a descending order beginning with 12 points for championships or first-place finishes. Second-place teams get 10 points, third-place teams nine, and so on. Tied teams split the total points.

“I am elated that we were able to win the Talmadge Layman Hill Award for the fourth consecutive year,” NSU Athletics Director Marty L. Miller said. “This award proves that we’ve been able to maintain our consistency in the men’s sports programs in the MEAC. The funding that we’ve been able to achieve over the last four seasons in the amount of $100,000 has helped our athletic program immensely.”

Highlighting the year for the Spartan men were two more track and field titles, one indoor
