almost looks "exactly" like last year's regular season indoor track schedule... Could that be because of this? MEAC Cancels Indoor Track & Field Championships for 2020-21Men's Track & Field // 1/20/2021 12:29:26 PM Share On: NORFOLK, Va., Jan. 20, 2021 – The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) will not hold its Indoor Track & Field Championships, which were set for Feb. 26-27 at the Virginia Beach Sports Center in Virginia Beach, Va., in the 2020-21 academic year. The MEAC has seen six of its 11 indoor track & field programs opt out of the 2020-21 season due to concerns over COVID-19. Conference policy states if 50% or more institutions cannot participate in any championship, the championship for that sport will be canceled. The five programs that did not opt out can compete during indoor season and qualify for the NCAA Indoor Track & Field Championships. Pretty sure Winston Salem is closer than Maryland (the location of the last MEAC Indoor Track & Field Championship) |

Pretty sure Winston Salem is closer than Maryland (the location of the last MEAC Indoor Track & Field Championship) man, some of you aggies really have trouble "reading". i said, "last year's regular season indoor track schedule". also, i didn't refer to the meac indoor championship because it was cancelled last year due to the facility being closed as a result of covid. however, it ain't like maryland is that far away. i know because i live in maryland. if a division 1 program cannot afford to travel 5 hours away from campus, then they should get out of the business of competing in ncaa sports altogether. i have "personally" drove from maryland to greensboro for aggie games and then returned home "the same day". if i can do that "personally" but the school can't afford to travel that far, then we ain't got no business competing in ncaa sports... |

Not related but related, Campbell volleyball made their trip to A&T in three vans.
When was the last time we were able to make a trip using vans? I wonder how much money does that save for their program…
Some of us have a poor mans mindset

Okay. This should not even be a conversation 😒 Track teams travel in different circles sometimes splitting the team and running in to different meets on a weekend indoor and outdoor. I think coach Ross and the University have done a really good job of handling the travel Logistics . Also vast majority of your more competitive Meets you may or may not see anyone from your conference until you meet them at the conference Championship meet . |

I assume Stewart turned pro but I have not actually seen it published anywhere.. .. Sirleaf / 200-400 is training .. So again I assume he is a pro since he does not have eligibility... Three of the 4 members of the indoor 4x4 team have returned ( Daniels-Young-Ross) ... Hayles possibly Harding and a 6-4 transfer will be Stewart's replacement
