DAVIDSON, N.C. – The Davidson men are set for the 2014 Southern Conference Indoor Track and Field Championship, to be held Saturday and Sunday at the JDL Fast Track in Winston-Salem, N.C.
This will be the 79th annual Indoor Track and Field Championship for the men.
The championships will begin Saturday at 10 a.m. with the women's pentathlon events, followed by the men's heptathlon events at 10:15 a.m. The awards ceremony is scheduled for Sunday at 4:40 p.m.
The event is free to the public. Live results, daily recaps, daily photos and video highlights can be found on the Southern Conference website.
The Wildcats will most likely be led by their middle distance and distance groups.
Sophomore Patrick Rollo is the highest ranked 'Cat in a middle distance event this year, as his 1:53.10 in the 800-meter run at the UCS Invitational is the fourth-best time posted amongst his conference foes this season. Seniors Grayam Sailor-Tynes (sixth, 4:14.11) and Whitner Chase (eighth, 4:15.91) both rank in the Top 10 of the mile so far.
Chase also ranks fourth in the 5000m (14:54.52) and sixth in the 3000-meter run (8:23.38).
Davidson's 4x400m relay effort could also add points, as its 3:24.03 at the UCS Invitational ranks fourth. Senior Michael Lorentsen will be another contender to score key points, as his top pole vault mark of 14 feet, 11 inches (4.55m), ranks sixth.
Senior Stewart Dalton will look to contribute in both the 60-meter dash and the long jump.
Appalachian State took home the men's title at the 2013 Indoor Championship, edging out Samford by 4.5 points, while Davidson placed fourth.
In the most recent power rankings, which include meets through Feb. 22, Samford leads, followed by Western Carolina and Appalachian State.
The rankings are determined by the top eight times or scores that are reported by the schools for each event that will be conducted at this weekend's championships.
