2008NAIA Indoor Championships Azusa Pacific Holds Tenuous Leads: Cougar men and women sit atop, but a sprint to the finish is shaping up
Published by
JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (live stats) - Azusa Pacific University (Calif.) has won more NAIA track & field championships than any other school in history, and the Cougars are primed for two more crowns following second-day competition at the NAIA Indoor Track & Field Championships in the Minidome on the campus of East Tennessee State University.
However, no one is conceding a crown just yet. In fact, Saturday's final day of competition could develop into one of the most exciting team finishes in the NAIA's 43-year history of indoor track & field championships.
Through six events, the Azusa Pacific women sit atop the leader board with 21 points. Wayland Baptist University (Texas) is second with 18, and Concordia University (Neb.) is third with 15. Off in the distance is Simon Fraser University (B.C.) which is currently sixth with ten points but is poised to score many points during Saturday's finals. "We had a pretty good day," said Mike Barnett, the head coach of the Azusa Pacific women's team, "but this is anybody's championship to win. Simon Fraser has a lot points sitting out there Saturday and so too does Wayland Baptist. It'll come down to whoever makes the fewest mistakes and performs to the best of their abilities."
