The G-MAC has seen a number of records shattered this indoor season while several student-athletes have made a splash in various events while qualifying provisionally for the NCAA Division II Championships.
 
From Ursuline, Bea Indurain (60-meter hurdles 2x), Tori Abdul (400-meter dash) and Nicole Burlinson (800-meter run), have each provisionally qualified at some point this year, respectively.
 
Additionally making a provisional qualifying time is Trevecca Nazarene freshman Caroline Hampton in the 3K distance.
 
A two-time G-MAC Athlete of the Week this year alone, Indurain has also automatically punched her ticket to the NCAA Division II Championships in the 60-meter hurdles in a time of 8.64 seconds.
 
At the conclusion of the championships, the G-MAC Track Athletes of the Year, Field Athletes of the Year, Freshmen of the Year and Coaches of the Year will all be announced, during an awards ceremony.
 
First, second and third all-conference teams, will also be revealed. The all-conference teams are performance based with individual awards decided from the coaches’ voting.
 
The G-MAC will be on site and interview select student-athletes for interviews throughout the course of the day while posting frequent updates through the conference’s Instagram (greatmidwestac) and Twitter (@greatmidwestac) handles.
 
A photo gallery of the day will also be available after the meet concludes.
