Lashawn Merritt at Norfolk State?

Re: Lashawn Merritt at Norfolk State?

If I recall correctly, he turned pro almost immediately after running 44.9 indoors at the NCAAs in Arkansas during his freshman year

Never made it the NCAA--ran his 44.93 in Fayetteville in February (Tyson Inv.?). It was a very frustrating time for East Carolina coach Bill Carson.

Damn!

I was thinking maybe an indoor small time meet. Oh well.

Thanks man I appreciate that

Freshman year at Eastern Carolina, not Norfolk.

Obviously, since he was a freshman in 2005 and he didn't enroll at Norfolk State until 2010

According to this news 2010 news release, he was enrolled as a student for the spring 2010 semester, (which would be after he was already a professional).

While reading the interview in T&FN I saw where he's attended ECSand Norfolk St. Did he ever actually compete for Norfolk St? Anyone know?

I'd love to add him to the HBCU.
