The U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCCA) has announced those that earned USTFCCCA All-America distinctions for the 2012 NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field season. Honors are awarded for performances at the final site of the NCAA Division I Outdoor Track & Field Championships occurring the last weekend in Des Moines, Iowa.

Six athletes from HBCUs made the first or second team list led by MD-Eastern Shore's Lenora Guion-Firmin. Guion-Firmin posted a 52.65-second time in the 400-meter dash finals and was the only HBCU performer to make the finals in an event.  Sprinting from lane one, Guion-Firmin finished eighth in the final event.

Prairie View A&M sophomore Preston Woodard finished ninth nationally in the triple jump to become the top HBCU male performer.  The Sweeny, Texas standout advanced to the finals with a jump of 52-2.  He had four additional attempts to move up in the standings but came up just short as his second-best jump registered 52-1 ¾. He finished ninth overall and earned second team honors
