The 1987 NAIA Indoor and Outdoor Track & Field Outstanding Performer, Alrick Munroe won seven individual NAIA Championships and was a member of four NAIA Team Championships during his four-year career at Wayland Baptist.  A sprinter and long jumper, Munroe was an 11-time NAIA All-American, earned NAIA Scholar Athlete honors twice, and continues to hold three WBU track and field records.

Munroe came to Wayland in August 1984 from Spanish Town, Jamaica, joining a track and field program that had never claimed a NAIA national title.  That elusive championship banner was finally realized when Munroe and his teammates accumulated 78 points to capture the 1985 NAIA Indoor Track and Field Championships. 

The Pioneers made history once again during the 1985 outdoor season.  Running in the prestigious Drake Relays, the Wayland men captured all six of the relay titles, a first in the distinguished history of the event.  Munroe ran on three of those teams:  the 4x100, the 4x200 and the Sprint Medley.  The time of 1:22.42 turned in by the 4x200 relay team was still a record for both the Drake Relays and for Wayland at the time of Munroe’s induction in 2009.
Wayland won the first of three straight national runner-up trophies at the 1985 NAIA Outdoor Championships.  The 4x100 relay team captured first place, giving Munroe his first individual title.

Munroe picked up his second national championship medal in the 60-yard dash in the 1986 NAIA Indoor Championships.  He also set a new school record in the 300-meters (34.55) during the season.

His junior year was the one to remember for Munroe.  The Pioneers won their third straight national indoor title and Munroe was named Outstanding Performer for his wins in the 60-yard dash, his second straight, and in the long jump, for which he set a school record with a leap of 26-0.75.  Two months later, he captured the same honor in the Outdoor meet winning the 100, the 200 and the long jump.  The WBU sprint medley relay team established a new school record during the ’87 outdoor season running a 3:18.97.

One other school record fell at the feet of Munroe and three of his teammates in 1988 when they ran a 39.61 in the 4x100.

Munroe graduated from Wayland in May of 1988 with a Bachelor’s Degree in Occupational Education.
