Florida, Oregon Ranked No. 1 and Going For Three-Peats
Gator men and Duck women are top ranked teams heading to NCAA meet
March 6, 2012
NEW ORLEANS – On Friday, the NCAA Division I Indoor Track & Field Championships will begin in Nampa, Idaho. And, the same as every year, plenty of storylines – team and individual battles – expect to consume the two-day championships. The last USTFCCCA National Team Computer Rankings prior to the NCAA meet has both two-time defending champions – Florida’s men and Oregon’s women – as the No. 1 teams.
ESPN3 will stream the meet live on March 9 from 7:30-11:45 p.m. ET and March 10 from 8-11:15 p.m. ET. A tape delay of the championship will air Sunday, March 18 at 7:30 p.m. ET on ESPNU. NCAA.com and broncosports.com will stream what ESPN3 is not covering on Friday (Noon-7:30 p.m. ET) and Saturday (12:30-8 pm ET).
