@kk5032 To have a "monkey on your back" is just an expression that means something is bothering you. In this case, Chris Derrick was bothered because he hadn't won a national championship. That is what the announcer meant. It was not a racial slur or vulgar language.
lalang is the best collegiate runner in the nation, this guy is gonna get some individual national titles come outdoor track season

I know it's an Idiom, but I think it is inappropriate to use it, when an African is chasing on your back...

@kk5032 He isn't referring to the runner. He is referring to Chris Derrick having good finishes but never winning.

Did one of the announcers say ..."finally get that monkey off his back?" Is he referring to Iona guy as "Monkey?"

@monkeyofftheback No, he's referring to the fact that Chris Derrick has consistently finished well at nationals but never won it.
