After being recruited to Rowan as a soccer player, Dixon graduated as one of the greatest track & field athletes not only in school history, but Division III history. A member of Rowan’s Athletics Hall of Fame as both a soccer player and a track & field athlete, Dixon was ultimately a natural on the track after his soccer coach encouraged him to join the Profs’ T&F squad. By the time all was said and done, Dixon accumulated five NCAA titles between the 400m and 4×400m relay and 11 total All-America honors. Not a single year passed from 1997 through 2000 that didn’t see Dixon claim a national title at 400m. His first came outdoors in 1997, followed by a successful title defense in 1998. He wouldn’t win another individual outdoor crown – though he earned All-America honors in the event four times – but he would keep the streak going outdoors.
He claimed his first of two indoor 400m national crowns in 1999 – in meet-record fashion, no less – before capping his career as the first quarter-mile national champion of the new millennium in 2000. He also added an outdoor national 4×400m title in 1999 as the anchor leg. To this day, he still holds indoor school records at both 200m and 400m, as well as one as a member of the 4×400m relay. As a 2009 Hall of Famer at Rowan in both track & field and soccer, he scored 25 goals and had 31 assists for a career total of 81 points as a soccer forward.
