SUNYAC Indoor Track and Field Championships Set for Feb. 23
The State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) indoor track and field teams will travel to Brockport, NY February 23rd for the 2013 SUNYAC Indoor Track and Field Championships. Eight men’s and women’s teams will be competing in the event at the College at Brockport’s Special Events Recreation Center (SERC) located on campus. The field events will begin at 9:00 a.m. while the first track events will be at 11:00 a.m.
Last year, the Geneseo men won their seventh championship title while the SUNY Cortland Red Dragons won their 15th women’s championship.
On the men’s side, the Geneseo Blue Knights scored 152 points last season to beat out second place Cortland State (118). Geneseo had seven first place finishes last year. Many first and second place finishers from last year have graduated, so we can expect an exciting competition between SUNYAC indoor track and field teams this year.
SUNY Cortland won the women’s championship last year with a 42 point cushion with 163 points, followed by Buffalo Sate with 121 points. The Red Dragons won one relay title and three individual crowns. Cortland sophomore, Sarah Bonnell won the long jump with a score of 5.61 meters, breaking the old SUNYAC record from 1986.
The SUNY Cortland women are ranked 6th nationally for Division III, while the SUNY Oneonta men are ranked 18th in the U.S. Track & Field and Cross Country Coaches Association (USTFCCA) Division III national poll . (I updated this 2/18/13)

We can expect to see these teams in the top three, but Cortland looks to win the 4x400 for the second year in a row.
Distance medley relay: Last year’s distance medley relay finished in the order of Plattsburgh, Geneseo, and Brockport. With Plattsburgh losing two of its winning members, and Geneseo returning with all of its team, Geneseo currently has the top performance time and a SUNYAC record.
