They did well enough to win their heat, but the 2:57.77 time of the semis would have been only fourth-best in the finals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Looking at the results and the stats of the race,<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/usatf\/status\/1424006213512179717?s=21\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"> it&#8217;s hard to argue with the decision.<\/a> Cherry\u2019s 44.26 split was topped by Norman\u2019s 44.03, which was bettered by Deadmond\u2019s 44.01 which was torched by Benjamin\u2019s 43.40 anchor leg to bring home the gold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For comparison, Stewart ran a 45 flat, Ross a 44.4 and Norwood a 44.3 in their individual splits.<br><br>While most HBCU supporters would have liked to have seen both Aggies in the final, both of them still earned gold medals. They also earned $37,500 each for winning a gold medal. Stewart also leaves Tokyo with a $15k purse for the bronze in the 4x400m mixed relay events.<br><br>Both Stewart and Ross have done a lot of running in 2021 \u2013 more than most of the pros they went against since completing the college season. Stewart will start his pro career while Ross returns to NC A&amp;T. No doubt they would have loved to have competed in the final, but both men are still young enough to get better for the 2024 Olympics, which will be here before you know it. They will have a goal to keep in mind while having a gold (medal) in their back pockets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>North Carolina A&#038;T national champions Trevor Stewart and Randolph Ross helped Team USA win the 4&#215;400 relay.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":61261,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_ml_titleColor":"#000000","_ml_titleFont":"Roboto","_ml_titleFontSize":1.136,"_ml_titleFontWeight":"400","_ml_titleLineHeight":1.3,"_ml_metaColor":"#708090","_ml_metaFont":"Montserrat","_ml_metaFontSize":0.6785,"_ml_metaFontWeight":"400","_ml_metaLineHeight":0.92,"_ml_bodyColor":"#a9a9a9","_ml_bodyFont":"Open Sans","_ml_bodyFontSize":0.85,"_ml_bodyFontWeight":"400","_ml_bodyLineHeight":1.2,"_ml_wooPriceColor":"#666","_ml_wooPriceFont":"Open Sans","_ml_wooPriceFontSize":0.9,"_ml_wooPriceFontWeight":"400","_ml_wooPriceLineHeight":1.27,"_ml_headingColor":"#000","_ml_headingFont":"Merriweather","_ml_headingFontSize":2.02,"_ml_headingFontWeight":"700","_ml_headingLineHeight":1.47,"_mlglobal_userfontcolors":{"headingColorUser":[],"titleColorUser":[],"metaColorUser":[],"bodyColorUser":[],"wooPriceColorUser":[]},"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[573630015,573627665],"tags":[573627544,2550950,573628710,573628729],"class_list":["post-61259","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tokyo-olympics","category-north-carolina-at","tag-featured","tag-nc-at","tag-randolph-ross","tag-trevor-stewart"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v22.4 (Yoast SEO v24.7) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>NC A&amp;T duo helps USA earn gold in 4x400 - HBCU Gameday<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"North Carolina A&amp;T national champions Trevor Stewart and Randolph Ross helped Team USA win the 4x400 relay.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/hbcugameday.com\/2021\/08\/07\/nc-at-duo-helps-usa-earn-gold-in-4x400\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"NC A&amp;T duo helps USA earn gold in 4x400\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"North Carolina A&amp;T national champions Trevor Stewart and Randolph Ross helped Team USA win the 4x400 relay.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/hbcugameday.com\/2021\/08\/07\/nc-at-duo-helps-usa-earn-gold-in-4x400\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"HBCU Gameday\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/hbcugameday\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-08-07T16:30:19+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-08-08T19:57:08+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/hbcugameday.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/E8MQSiKXoAMipzJ.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"873\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Steven J.
