Hampton University Athletics

Hampton University sophomore Gabriel Johnson was named HU Athlete of the Week for his performance on the track this past weekend.

Johnson broke the school record in the 500-meter run this past weekend at the IC4A Indoor Championships, running a 1:02.92 in the event. He was also a part of the Pirates' 4x400-meter relay squad that came in fourth with a 3:10.26.

That performance helped the Pirates capture the IC4A team title by one point over Albany, as Hampton became the first HBCU to ever win the event.
