BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Track & Field prepares for its team season finale at the 2019 Air Force Reserve Conference USA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. While the Championships begin Thursday with the heptathlon and decathlon, the Red and White will start competing Friday, continuing on into Saturday and Sunday. A full schedule for the weekend can be found here.
"There are some outstanding athletes in this conference and there have been for years," said head coach Erik Jenkins on the competition. "We want to make sure we continue to put our mark on the conference because if you do well in Conference USA, you probably have a good chance to do well at the NCAA Regionals in Jacksonville."
In 2018, WKU walked away from the C-USA Outdoor Championships with seven event titles. The men's squad finished tied for fourth while the women finished ninth. Seven WKU competitors cracked top-five program times while two Lady Toppers notched school records.
The men's 4x400-meter relay team won the event in 2017 and 2018 and will be looking for a third consecutive first-place finish.
"I think our group is excited about the opportunity to compete in the conference championships. We feel like we are in a good place right now so we just need to go out and execute, be positive, be disciplined in our approach of things and I think we'll have some good things happen."
A free live stream will be provided by CUSA.tv on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Live stats, results by day, recaps and videos can be found on the Championship Central website.
