WKU Track & Field Headed for C-USA Indoor Championships

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – WKU Track & Field is headed to Birmingham, Ala., for the third time this season with the Conference USA Indoor Championships on the slate this weekend. Action will span Saturday and Sunday from the Birmingham CrossPlex.

"We are taking a smaller group than is ideal but everybody we are taking can score, can go out there and help us," shared WKU Director of Cross Country/Track & Field Brent Chumbley. "It's going to be a lot of fun. Everything that we watch we're going to be pretty much full of anticipation because everybody can score, everybody can PR and I think we are ready to go. We are just a small group with some injuries and some sickness that we are trying to rebound from. But it is going to be exciting for everybody. Every event is going to be worth watching if somebody wants to try to keep up with it online, I wouldn't turn away from any event that we're in."

The 2020 Conference USA Indoor Track & Field Championships are set to begin Saturday, February 22, hosted by UAB at the Birmingham CrossPlex in Birmingham, Alabama. This year marks UAB's ninth-consecutive season hosting the meet. The event will be live streamed on CUSA TV for free and switch to ESPN+ at 2 p.m. CT on Sunday.
