Track & Field Competing at NEC Championships This Weekend

May 5, 2022

The Central Connecticut State outdoor track and field teams will be competing for the Northeast Conference Championship this weekend, traveling to Emmitsburg, Maryland for the day two meet.

MEN'S TRACK AND FIELD

The men's team is looking to grab the elusive title after finishing as runner up the previous three seasons in the outdoor Championship. They are certainly poised to do so this season after impressive fall and winter campaigns. The men's cross country team took home the NEC title this fall. The team is also coming off of a big performance at their home Blue Devil Invite last weekend, where the Blue Devils scored a meet-best 172 points as a team. CCSU also returns one of last year's Outstanding Performers, senior Miles Fye-Moore.

WOMEN'S TRACK AND FIELD

CCSU women's track and field is looking for its second title in three seasons this weekend. The Blue Devils took home the title in 2019 before finishing fourth at last year's Championships. Perhaps an even more impressive milestone that is on the table this weekend is the yearly sweep; the women's team at CCSU won the cross country Championship this past fall, and put on an impressive performance at the indoor Championship earlier this year which led to another title, this one a tie with Wagner. The women's side also returns an Outstanding Performer from last year's Championships, senior Angie Rafter.
