NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships updates, time, streaming

The gun will go off on the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships meet at Hayward Field on the afternoon of June 11.

The four-day meet opens with day one of the men’s competition and what is anticipated to be highly competitive battle for the team title, with any number of teams — Texas A&M, USC, New Mexico, South Florida, Minnesota, Nebraska — in contention.

“Winning the championship is what you start the season off with,” Texas A&M coach Pat Henry said June 10.

“For all of us, it’s the thing we’re here to do,” added Georgia coach Caryl Smith Gilbert, whose women’s team is projected to win the team title by a comfortable margin, with South Carolina, USC and Texas A&M playing possible spoiler.

The women’s portion of the meet begins June 12.

“Coach Henry told me years ago that track and field is the hardest national championship to win, and over time, he’s absolutely right,” Smith Gilbert said. “It’s a huge big deal and an honor. Our kids work hard, their bodies are their implements, they never get a break, it’s year round.”

And now it’s in Eugene for the conclusion of the college season. Follow along for live updates.
