QUOTING HEAD COACH KEVIN ADKISSON
"On the whole we have been building excitement all week with the Championships finally approaching. We are feeling relieved in a lot of ways with finally making it to this point, we've seen some other schools have to miss out on a handful of opportunities this season due to COVID-19 and we're very fortunate to have survived the season. We have good strength and a great opportunity to challenge some of those team titles this weekend. I feel that our athletes are ready for those big performances. One of the best parts about being a coach is being able to be there alongside our athletes as they push their marks and try to reach big goals."

TITLE CONTENTION
After last weekends GNAC Outdoor Multi's Championship the Crimson and Black Men's Track & Field team secured 16 points to start the meet thanks to Braydon Maier winning the Men's Decathlon.

The 'Cats throwing duo of senior Andrew Harris and Junior Meagan Smallbeck are looking to win their respective Hammer Throw events. Andrew Harris previously broke the Central Washington University school record with his throw of 59.92m or 196 ft and 7 in. Harris's throw landed him 16^th overall in the country for DII. Senior Aidan Cain will be looking to challenge Harris on the Men's Hammer Throw. Previously this season Cain threw a mark of 55.70m or 182 ft and 9 in. This mark put him 54^th overall in the country for DII and just 14 ft and 2 in behind Harris. Smallbeck's longest throw of the year was marked at 54.11m or 177 ft and 6 in. Her throw landed her 1^st overall in the GNAC conference previously and gave her a national provisional qualifier. Smallbecks throw also tied her for 31^st overall in the country for DII.

Braydon Maier just after winning the GNAC Multi's will look to compete in various events himself. Maier along with Ryan Thoma have both earned national provisional qualifiers with their efforts in the Men's Decathlon. Maier is the first seed in the Men's Pole Vault just ahead of junior Jacob Thompson who sits in third.

McCall DeChenne looks to take home the Women's 400-Meter Hurdles as she leads the event seeds with a time of 1:02.28. Last weekend DeChenne had a strong weekend taking 4^th in the Women's Heptathlon at the GNAC Multi's Championship.

Junior Avery Fisk is looking to close it out in the Women's Discus and Shot Put. All season long Fisk has dominated the Discus and Shot Put and this weekend will be her time to cement it. In the discus Fisk's furthest mark on the year came in at 44.32m. Her furthest Shot-Put mark came in at 13.67m.

Gunner Vallatini looks to take home the Men's 400-Meter Hurdles. Currently he sits in the second seed with his best time on the year being 54.60.
