WEEKEND PREVIEW: Conference Championships Around the Nation - USTFCCCAPublished by
NEW ORLEANS – There’s more at stake this weekend in college track & field than just getting your name higher on the national championships qualifying lists. Championship season is already underway in NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field – as well as in DII and DIII, for that matter. Individual league titles are on the line against regional rivals, with the ultimate prize of conference team trophies waiting at the end of the weekend. MORE INFO: Conference Championships Central | Broadcast Schedule It’s a weekend celebrating track & field’s most complete teams that excel in a combination of the sprints and distance races and the jumps and throws. In short, it’s a weekend matched only by the NCAA Championships in terms of excitement and importance. We’ve broken down the five biggest conference meets – in terms of nationally ranked teams – to show the team contenders and a handful of elite events to watch at each. Though we only had room and time for the SEC, ACC, Big 12, Big Ten and MPSF, the list of conference championships this week is a long one with many other featured teams and events. For instance, you’ll want to keep an eye on the Mountain West where Boise State’s frosh phenom Allie Ostrander – already the college leader at 3000 and 5000 meters – will try her hand at the mile. And the Big East, where Patrick Tiernan of Villanova will square off with Butler’s Erik Peterson and Georgetown’s Jonathan Green at 5000 meters. And the American, where No. 3 Cameron Burrell of Houston will take on No. 6 Bryce Robinson of Tulsa at 60 meters. To get all the info on all the conference meets around the country, be sure to check out the USTFCCCA Conference Championships Central page. Details on conference meets in all three NCAA Divisions can be found there. Detailed overviews of the SEC, ACC, Big 12, Big Ten and MPSF can be found below.
