NCAA ANNOUNCES SITE SELECTIONS FOR 2011 AND 2012
DIVISION I INDOOR TRACK AND FIELD CHAMPIONSHIPS
INDIANAPOLIS--- The NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Track
and Field Committee has selected College Station, Texas, and Nampa, Idaho, to
serve as hosts for the 2011 and 2012 NCAA Division I Men’s and Women’s Indoor
Track and Field Championships, respectively. The 2011 Indoor Track and Field
Championships, hosted by Texas A&M University, will be held at the
Gilliam Indoor Track Stadium at McFerrin Athletic Center. This will mark the second time Texas A&M will host the event, with
its first occurring in 2009. Boise State University, who will host for the
first time in championship history, will hold the 2012 competition at the
Jackson Track at the Idaho Center.
“The committee was fortunate to receive several
attractive bids for the Division I Indoor Track and Field Championships,” said
Holly Sheilley, chair of the Division I Men’s and Women’s Track and Field
Committee and assistant athletic director for student development and
championships at the University of Louisville.
"We
are dedicated to enhancing the student-athlete experience and bringing the
event to areas that elevate the championship. We are confident that Texas
A&M will build upon the great job they did hosting in 2009 and make it an
even better championship in 2011,” said Sheilley. “We
are also excited to take the championship somewhere new, with Boise State as a
host in 2012. Both have good reputations as premier track venues and the
ability to draw good crowds, which makes them not only ideal selections to host
the NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships, but will help to continue to
foster the sport's growth.”
The 2010 NCAA Indoor Track and Field Championships will be
held in Fayetteville, Ark., at the Randal Tyson Track Center on
the campus of the University of Arkansas, March 12-13.
