Blackett, in her fourth year at Azusa Pacific, was named the National Women’s Assistant Coach of the Year. Her athletes played a major part in helping the Cougars win their first outdoor national title in program history at the NCAA Division II level, as they combined to score 33 of the team’s 81 points at the 2021 NCAA Division II Outdoor Track & Field Championships. APU won event titles in both the 100 (Mechaela Hyacinth) and 400H (Jaylah Walker). It would have been tough not to find a Blackett-coached athlete in Allendale, Michigan, as they qualified in the 100, 200, 800, 100H, 400H, 4×100 and 4×400 relays.
