Women's Track and Field Announces 2010-11 Schedule

Eagles schedule highlighted with three home meets over indoor, outdoor season

YPSILANTI (EMUEagles.com) -- The Eastern Michigan University Women's Track and Field program release its 2010-11 Indoor and Outdoor schedule today, wtih the team scheduled to compete at 23 meets--including NCAA Regionals and Championships--over the course of the six months that comprises both seasons.

The Indoor season will kickoff with a Dec. 10 home showdown at Bob Parks Track in Bowen Fieldhouse when Eastern takes on the University of Toledo Rockets in the Eagle/Rocket Holiday Meet. After a month-long break in competition, the Eagles will return to Bowen for its final home meet of the Indoor season when the team hosts the EMU Open on Jan. 8.

The Eagles will spend the next two weeks in the state of Michigan but away from Ypsilanti, traveling to Allendale and Ann Arbor to compete in the Bob Eubanks Open and the Simmons/Harvey Invitational, respectively. EMU will make its first out-of-state trek from Jan. 28-29 when the team travels to Penn State in State College, Pa. for action at the National Invitational.

The famed Meyo Invite will be the next place of competition for the Eagles as the team heads to South Bend, Ind. for the Feb. 4-5 classic. The following weekend, Feb. 11-12, the Eagles will send student-athletes to two different sites, as Eastern will compete at both the Akron Invitational and the GVSU "Big Meet."

The final tune-up meet before MAC Championships will be the Silverston Invite at the University of Michigan, the second of two trips the Eagles make to Ann Arbor during the Indoor campaign. The MAC Championships will be held in Bowling Green, Ohio, hosted by the Falcons of BGSU, on Feb. 25-26.

Prior to the March 11-12 NCAA Championships in College Station, Texas, the Eagles will venture to South Bend, Ind. for the Alex Wilson Invite on Mar. 4-5.

The Outdoor season is peppered with Midwest trips, as the women will have three in-state meets, including the mid-April EMU Twilight at Olds/Marshall Track inside of Rynearson Stadium, the Len Paddock Invite at U-M in Ann Arbor on May 6-7, and the Gina Relays in Hillsdale on April 29-30. Other out-of-state, regular season Midwest dates include an April 2 clash in Toledo, Ohio for the Toledo Collegiate Challenge and the Miami Invitational in Oxford, Ohio on April 8-9.

The team will also visit each coast, traveling to North Carolina for the Raleigh Relays on March 25-26, then to California three weeks later for the Mt. SAC Relays in Walnut on April 14-16. The other regular season standout meet is the Penn Relays. After competing well in 2010, the Eagles will look to better that output during the April 28-30 competition.

The MAC Championships will be hosted by Northern Illinois in DeKalb, Ill. from May 12-14. The NCAA Regionals will follow in Bloomington, Ind. from May 26-28, and the NCAA Championships will be held in Des Moine, Iowa from June 8-11.
