UC Davis To Host Division I Independents Track And Field Championships

May 12, 2005

DAVIS, Calif. - UC Davis will play host to high-caliber track and field this weekend when it hosts the nine-team NCAA Division I Independents Championships at Woody Wilson Track on Saturday and Sunday.

The meet, open to programs without conference affiliation, will feature nine schools: Indiana-Purdue-Ft. Wayne, North Dakota State, Northern Colorado, Portland, South Dakota State, Texas A&M-Corpus Christi, University of San Francisco, Utah Valley State and the host Aggies.

The meet will be conducted very similar to a conference championship with field events beginning at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday and running events at 3 p.m. Field events resume at 9 a.m. on Sunday with running events scheduled to start at 10:30 a.m. Saturday's running events will be mostly prelims with Sunday racing comprised of all finals.

Scoring will be conducted on a 10-8-6-5-4-3-2-1 points basis.



Good luck Jackrabbits! ;D

SDSU will have some good performances by the men and women but we're still in the rebuilding mode (and are badly in need of a facility).

NDSU men likely to win. Cal-Davis will be strong.

SDSU's Brad Lowery is favored to win the 1500. He's running very well right now.

(and are badly in need of a facility).

 

I wonder:

Where on the project board is the track facility? What kind of a facility is being planned?

I think we need an indoor facilty real bad. A certain D2 school seems to have it over us because they have one.

Re: NCAA D-I Independent Track Championships

Wasn't the original plan for the wellness center to include an indoor track? I would also like to hear what plans we have for track facility.

I can't find a link to current results. SDSU/BHS fan, how did you get the 1500 results? Do have the results for the 800?

Overall a really good showing for what many have termed a "rebuilding year".  Having the Women's Athletes of the Meet, Sheena Dauer is just gravey.  Well done Jackrabbit Track Team.

Re: NCAA D-I Independent Track Championships

Congrads to the Jack men and women. We did very good and probably we would have had a challenge catching both NDSU and UCD if all were still D2.
