A native of Dallas, Texas, Sherman Evans' name sits among the fastest in a storied history of the Mulerider Men's Track and Field program. 

Evans was a key part of history in the 1991 season as his blazing efforts as the anchor leg of SAU's 4x100 meter relay team earned the squad a national runner-up finish; the highest postseason result by any group or team in department history. 

That '91 campaign saw Evans earn All-Arkansas Intercollegiate Conference honors as a sprinter in addition to All-America acclaim following the Muleriders' silver finish in the 4x100 relay. 

The following year was one of the most successful in department history and Evans found himself in the middle of it as a member of the Muleriders' 1992 4x100 meter relay national championship unit; the program's first and only gold medal podium finish. 

Evans again garnered all-league and All-American recognition and his speed remains among the program standard decades later. 

During his time in Magnolia, Evans delivered multiple 8+ podium finishes in sprint events in each of his final two seasons.
