SAU Track and Field prepared to challenge at Great American Conference Championships

MAGNOLIA, Ark. – In just its third year back in action after a short hiatus, the Southern Arkansas Track and Field program has put together a very successful 2017 campaign that will culminate with an opportunity for both the Muleriders and Lady Muleriders to challenge for a Great American Conference Championship on April 20-22 in Searcy, Arkansas.
 
Both programs placed second last spring at the inaugural GAC Track and Field Championships in Shawnee, Oklahoma, and have subsequently carried that momentum into this season.
 
The Muleriders and Lady Muleriders each won the Marc Randle Classic, while registering solid showings in their remaining four non-scoring meets of the regular season. Recaps of all of the action for both programs in 2017 can be found here: MULERIDERS | LADY MULERIDERS

Joining SAU in Central Arkansas will be East Central, host Harding, Oklahoma Baptist, Oklahoma Christian, Rogers State and Southern Nazarene. Top times and marks in each event throughout the conference can be found here: https://www.tfrrs.org/lists/1790.html.
 
The action begins Thursday, April 20, with the heptathlon and decathlon starting at 2 p.m. On Friday, April 21, the meet resumes at 10 a.m. with the remaining events in the heptathlon and decathlon and will resume at 4 p.m. for the hammer throw and triple jump events. At 6:30 p.m. on Friday, the Steeplechase and 10,000 meter will take place. Champions will be crowned on Saturday, April 22, as the remainder and largest portion of the meet begins at 10 a.m.
