After his graduation from the School of Communications & Media Technologies in 2019, Mobolade Ajomale signed a professional contract with Trident Sports Management and has since returned to Canada to train with the Athletics Canada East Hub.

A 10-time national champion and 20-time All-American in his career, Ajomale exploded on the scene as a freshman, dramatically becoming the NCAA DII Indoor 60m National Champion, West Region Indoor Track Athlete of the Year, and a three-time All-American all before starting his first outdoor season. After scoring 32.5 points with 100m, 200m, 400m, and 4x100m titles at the 2016 PacWest Championships and being named Male Track Athlete of the Meet, Ajomale went on to add a pair of top-three finishes in the 100m and 200m at Outdoor Nationals. He contributed to Team Canada's bronze medal in the 4x100m relay at the 2016 Olympics then proceeded to secure national titles in the indoor 60m and 200m each of the next two seasons (breaking the NCAA DII indoor 200m record twice along the way), adding a pair in the 100m and one in the outdoor 200m. As a senior, Ajomale defended his 200m title at Indoor Nationals, was part of the Urban Knights' 4x400m relay whose 3:10.07 remains sixth fastest in DII history, then claimed his fourth consecutive PacWest titles in the 100m, 200m, and 4x100m. That was all before he ended his career at Outdoor Nationals with All-American honors in the 4x100m, 100m, and 200m, going out a champion after a successful title defense in the 200m. He became just the fourth male student-athlete to go back-to-back in the 200m since the era officially began in 1976.

"Looking back at my ART U career, the one thing that always stood out to me was that we were the only art school in the NCAA," said Ajomale. "It made other teams doubt our abilities and I always loved the look on all their faces when we finally spiked up to compete. We were underdogs with everything to gain and nothing to lose. I enjoyed my time there and I certainly learned a lot academically, athletically and mentally. I was challenged constantly and what's what helped the growth."
