The Emory University track and field team will look to make a run
at the University Athletic Association (UAA) Championship this
weekend, as the Eagles will head to St. Louis, MO for the outdoor
championship meet, hosted by Washington University (Mo.) on
Saturday and Sunday.
The Emory men will look to improve on their third-place finish at
both the 2009 UAA Outdoor Championship last year and the 2010
Indoor Championship in March. Included in the field this
season are two teams ranked in the latest USTFCCCA NCAA Division
III poll, 10th-ranked Washington University and
20th-ranked New York University.
Emory will be returning all four members of its 2009 UAA
Championship 4x400-meter relay team, and eighth other athletes who
earned all-UAA honors at the meet. At last season’s
conference outdoor championship meet, Washington came away with the
team victory.
The Emory women, currently ranked 13th in Division III,
will try to win their first outdoor conference championship since
the 1997 season, after finishing second at both the 2009 UAA
Outdoor Championships, and the 2010 UAA Outdoor
Championships. The only other team in the UAA that is
currently nationally ranked, besides Emory, is the ninth-ranked
University of Chicago.
Returners from last year’s conference meet include 2009 UAA
Rookie of the Year Alix Dyer, along with four
other all-UAA honorees. Washington University also won the
women’s portion of the 2009 UAA Outdoor Championships.
The meet will be held at the Bushyhead Track on the Washington
University campus. Action will begin at 10:00 AM on Saturday,
and at 9:30 AM on Sunday. The meet is scheduled to conclude
at 2:40 PM on Sunday. Live Results and live video (weather
permitting) will be available during the meet, which can be
accessed from the UAA Championship Website.
