    Here's an article from Terry on the upcoming Indoor Summit League Championships.

    Track team goes for title

    While the NCAA Division I Independents hold makeshift championships in several sports, indoor track and field is not one of them.

    So South Dakota State's track athletes and coaches - after three years in competitive purgatory - are excited about this week's Summit League meet in Sterling, Ill.

    That's why one of the rules of the house is disappointing.
    The conference allows only 22 competitors per gender per school at the indoor event. Although an increase of two from the previous years, that's 10 less than the Missouri Valley Conference, for example.

    Even the Division II North Central Conference - with its maximum of 31 women and 25 men - allows more than the Summit.

    The restrictions are mainly expense-related, according to SDSU coach Rod DeHaven. They will force the Jackrabbits to leave behind competitors that rank in the top 10 in the league their respective events and likely would score points at the conference meet.

    It's especially problematic on the women's side, where SDSU has 18 scholarships (the most allowed by the NCAA) shared by almost 40 individuals.

    DeHaven has already broken the news to one such hopeful. And how did that go?

    "As you can imagine, not great," he said.
