Darria Matthias and Brandon Valentine-Parris earn All-American honours.

Sprinters Darria Matthias and Brandon Valentine-Parris, have awarded the status of NCAA Division II All-Americans, for the 2020 indoor season.

All-American honours are usually bestowed on athletes at the National Championships, once they place 1-8 in their events. However, according to a saintaugfalcons.com post, because of the cancellation of this years national championships  due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the award of All-American was given to athletes who would have made the start list in the respective events.

It is the first All-American honour that Darria has received, doing so for the 60m and 200m. She is into her Freshman (First) Year at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California, with the goal of becoming a fashion stylist and visual merchandiser.

For Brandon, it is the 15th time the St. Augustine University Senior has been awarded the status of NCAA Division 2 All-American. He earned the award in the 400m and 4x400m relay. 

He is on pace to graduate this year, with a Bachelors of Science in Sports Management.
