Mean Green At C-USA Indoor Championships

BIRMINGHAM – North Texas track & field competes at the 2020 Conference USA Indoor Track & Field Championships held at the CrossPlex hosted by UAB Saturday and Sunday.

Field events begin Saturday at 2 p.m. followed by running at 4. Sunday, field events start at 11 a.m. and running at 1 p.m.

"Conference USA is such a tight team competition that we need all our events groups to do well for us to score high as a team," director of track and field Carl Sheffield said. "We have a lot of people ranked in the top eight of their events and return almost 20 scorers from last year's competition.

"We have had a couple of weeks to get some quality training in. We are just focusing on mentally preparing to execute what we have been doing all season indoors. I feel like we are taking the best 28 that we've ever taken to an indoor Conference USA meet," Sheffield said.
